stair remodel

Remember these hideous stairs that lead to the basement?



Well, I was SO sick of looking at them (and falling down them TWICE- yes, I'm really clumsy and Chanse is always laughing at me) that I decided it was time we did something about it. Cheapest fix= paint.

Chanse tore off the brown, plastic strips that were on the edges of the stairs, and we used some left over paint for a temporary fix!
I love the finished product:)




The stairs are pretty beat up, and we liked the way they looked after we painted them!
We also painted the stairwell bright white, and replaced the old, dingy lampshade.

Hey Janell your house is looking great! I'm impressed with your painting and remodling skills. I'll have to ask you for tips when we eventually buy a house.
