I am so excited about this as it has taken "a while" for us to get around to completing all the painting required. You can imagine with five people going up and down the stairs several times a day, there never seems to have been a time when the traffic was light enough to allow us to paint and dry sufficiently. Coats were added at random times and now it is finally the "right" colour.
The stenciled words are a quirky finishing touch . Milo popped his rabbit on the stairs this morning, complete with raised leg. Think he may have his mummies eye for styling !
Painted to compliment the beautiful Laura Ashley wallpaper purchased in a sale several years ago, I am really happy with the end result. As for the four men in our home .....

ReplyDeleteCan't believe I missed this post, I think these are the prettiest stairs ever, ever! X
ReplyDeleteWow i absolutely love it they look like they should be on the front cover of a home magazine. I never thought before about the traffic issues of painting stairs not something i would be able to attempt for awhile with a toddler going up and down all hours of the day and night.
ReplyDeleteLove the wall paper too really works well with the gourgous staircase.
Thanks for linking up xx
I love them! I'm thinking about painting my staircase too... it's on my list! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find knowledgeable people on this topic, however, you seem like you know what you're talking about!
ReplyDeleteThanks
