i am absolutely dying to show you the colorful and fun stairs project!
and... the paper is STILL on them from painting the trim. ugh.
therefore, here's a mediocre picture taken right before installation.
...the look will also change once the stair treads are on. the quote is by john maxwell.
i super-duper love them!
i'll make sure to show a finished picture too.
promise.
warning: i'm so excited about these, you may well get sick of seeing them in all my pictures!
happiness underfoot :) the color & quote are uplifting!!

Wow! These are totally awesome! I've long wanted to do something like this with my stairs, but I lack the painting talent you have. Love, love, love.

Perfect! Thanks for posting a pic of them up, I was so looking forward to it. I must say I think your version is the best of all the stair pictures you posted. Love the colors and artwork and your lettering. These are fabulous!

Love how the stairs are looking, what a fun project! 5 years later we still haven't finished the stairs in our garage which lead to my studio/big screen TV area. I have the sandpaper on one of the steps and it has been sitting there for a few weeks (months?!) I don't think that I could handle doing the painting with the risers installed but your project is sure inspirational. Have you moved into Vancouver??

These are my favorite stairs ever!! So beautiful. Thanks for sharing. You've got me all motivated to rip off the worn out crappy carpet from our stairs and create something beautiful! :)
