If your narrow, dark, closed-in staircase is so depressing you’ve just started pretending you don’t have a second floor, take heart. There’s hope yet. Look at how great Maggie’s staircase looks after knocking open the wall and adding a banister. Like, super great. And her painted stairs (which are awaiting carpet) not only top off the look, but are making me crave s’mores. Yums.
See more on her blog Crunchy Diva.

September 11, 2012 at 5:58 PMWho knew just removing a few feet of wall would make such a difference? But I bet that was not a fun project to do.

September 12, 2012 at 2:50 PMThanks so much, everyone! I’m so glad you all like it. From far away I guess that s’mores look on the stairs looks OK, but they were super-scuzzy close up. If I can snap a good photo of the stairs with the runner on them today I’ll post them at Crunchy Diva. PS: I am hugging Lindsey right now. thanks so much for sharing my work!
