some of you may already know this...
we're going to be moving soon. (i'll share more about that at a later date)
and there are stairs in the new place that lead up to my home studio.
much thanks to pinterest i've been uber inspired: stenciled stairs, wallpapered stairs,
rustic stairs, colorful painted stairs, artsy stairs. oh my!1. stencil gallery 2. color between the lines 3. claudio paillalef 4. apartment therapy 5. style files
6. french by design 7. pinterestpicture via the style files
oh to decide what direction to take!
so many fun choices...
do i go pretty? colorful? artsy? modern? simple?
and off i go...
my work cut out for me.
16 mdf stair risers and a lot of paint!
Can't wait to see what you do! I've been itching to rip the nasty carpet off our stairs and have an idea for the treads that uses brown craft paper, but I hadn't decided what to do with the risers yet. I especially love idea #2 considering I have rooms in the turquoise and green in nearby rooms...

Oh...be still my beating heart - numbers 5 & 6!! Swoon. I LOVE them all, but those are my faves. Each one has it's own personality & flair. Can't wait to see what you do. :)

OOooh I am excited. Can't wait to see them I have often admired some of those same steps. Love being able to save it all now! ... I have wood stairs too...but it would mean too much bending... We'll see though. I may just get some thin board and adhere it to them...very inspirational!

That is an AWESOME idea! Love it! Can't wait to see how yours turns out! I think the decision process would kill me. So many ways to go! I am having a hard enough time doing my Sketchbook Project without the added pressure of making it permanent in my house! So excited for you to be almost there! And this post has a lot of ! so I better stop writing. ;-)
