my hand painted stairs are finally installed!
they were quite the laborious endeavor, but i'm totally thrilled with how they turned out.
find my original stair inspiration here.this set of stairs lead from our living quarters to my home studio above the garage...
i thought this quote by john maxwell was quite appropriate for the location :) and oh-so-true!quote by john maxwell
we used beat up oak for the treads so it would flow nicely into the studio space where we were able to use the salvaged oak floors from the original house.
now if these can't inspire me to get into the studio... i don't know what will!

Michelle, you have outdone yourself!!!! These are truly inspiring, and just... FANTASTIC!!!I have been eagerly awaiting the "unveil" of the stairs, LOL and they are far beyond what I thought they would be! I LOVE what you've done with the house - how awesome to be able to do it the way you want to.. as you envision it!!!
Oohh... and loving the table your hubby built! I have one just like it in my room! :) Can't live without it! LOL
