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!

I completely love your stairs. I've painted 'rugs' but this is the first! Wish i had stairs! But...i can use my art journal scraps for my own art around the house. Sad to say i never thought of that before.
BIG THANKS for sharing!!

These are truly the most amazing stairs I've ever seen. LOVE them! I'm curious. Did you prime the MDF first or did you just tear into painting?

SO AWESOME!!! I want to go repaint my whole house. Better yet, will YOU come repaint my whole house? :-)

Okay...so I totally freaking love this and it made my heart smile. Making my heart smile was a much needed thing today. Thank you. I'm sharing this (and your blog) on my facebook art page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Deedras-Art/257639572940

Fabulous! I want a set of stairs like that.

Michelle, would you please merchandise these into wallpaper strips so that we can all just apply these onto our own stairs? We could Mod-podge over them to protect them. Just a thought. But please DO IT!
Found you by way of Reddit. Love, love, love your work!

I really would love to have my stairs painted, but live in a small town and don't know where to begin the search for the artist. Any suggestions??

Like the way they lead upward!

I saw these incredible stairs posted on a Facebook page with a note saying she didn't know the source. A quick hunt and here you are (I put the link on her page). These are amazing!
