Awe thank you Allison. I’m sorry to here about your stairs. 🙁 You can paint right on top of the paint you already have but with that much stairs I would do the risers ombre and the landings stained wood. (try searching “ombre stairs” on pinterest they have some examples) Only thing I’m thinking is since you already have the landings navy blue how would you stain them ?.. It’s to much work stripping the paint..You can try maybe a charcoal gray color on top? Is this for your living room? What’s your color theme?

Oooh how exciting. 😀 That sounds like the perfect project. 😀 I know what you mean… wood seems tough to work with but the beauty of wood is that even if it looks rough it could be stained and turn out looking rustic or painted into whatever style your home is. I love adding a pop of color here and there.. 😀 makes me smile.. 😀 Oh on the subject of inspiration 😀 — If you type “ombre stairs” in the search bar on pinterest it will show you many more Ideas that inspired me to do my stairs like this. Thank you 😀 Carol I am so glad you liked my stairs.. 😀 I’m excited for you 😀 😀 YOU GO GIRL !!! 😀

Awe thank you Sue. I know what you mean I had a time when I constantly walked into walls. hehe. 😀 Unfortunately this surface needs to be somewhat glossy so you could wipe them to keep clean. If the finish was satin or matte I’m afraid it would be a dirt magnet. Although… Here’s an idea you could add some sand into the paint or clear coat to give it grip. 😀 Or use anti-grip gel clear mats. (there’s a link above to give you an example) I hope this helps. 😀

Awe thanks Natasha. lol That was my case too. I live close to and ACE and it was quicker then going clear down to homedepot or lowes. 😉 Lesson learned. 😀
