A Little Paint...

...goes a long way! my house has the worst staircases maybe ever. the bannisters and railings look like something you'd see in a dorm. totally 80s and in terrible taste. it would take a lot to redo them i think so for now we're living with them.

do your eyes hurt? can't say i don't share the good, the bad, and the ugly! the carpeting is about the same vintage as the stairs and we're getting around to replacing that now! so in between the old stuff being ripped up and the new carpet going down, i thought i would try to make the stairs look a little better.

it's amazing to me how a little white paint makes it look so much better. a runner will be going back down but i think this paint job will make a big difference.

do you have nasty stairs? how are you making them less of an eye sore?
