Painting the Stairwell

George got this great ladder that allowed us to paint the rest of the stairs.  He did a great job!  I was happy he did not have me do any of the painting up there.  

 

More Stairs Thoughts!

After thinking about the stairs a little, I thought about the HGTV green House this year. Remember the beautiful glass in the staircase?  I did! I would love to add something similar to this to the stairway.    Possibly starfish instead? I love the glass idea though.The big difference in my stairwell is that there is not a window in the stair case, so there is no natural light.  I think that is what makes the glass pop so well in these images. 

Thanks for the inspiration HGTV!

To Do List- Stairs

Ok, yes we still did not close on the house.  This will be a down the road project.  But I can still get excited about it now right?  On Thrifty Decor Chick she posted about completing her staircase again.  I love the idea to add boards to the walls to give it more depth. Inexpensive too!   Here are some pictures of what my current space looks like and what hers looks like: 

 

 

Thanks for the inspiration Thrifty Decor Chick.  It looks like she got the idea from The Nester.
