Finally.
After months of priming, painting, caulking, staining, sanding, painting some more, sealing... etc.
Hours upon hours...
This thing is finished.
here is the staircase before...
And here she is today.
She sure is pretty! All of the hard work was worth it. It really was! However, I would never do it again. I don't care how much it would cost... I would pay someone.
Do you see all those spindles? OMG. this project was terrible.
If you are thinking about doing it. I don't think it would be as bad if I just had the staircase coming down. That would have been fine. But the spindles all around the entire upstairs. That was just too much. I am so glad this project is done!
We had to take down the be awesome today sign to touch up some wall paint above the door, but that will be going back up soon.
So what is the most time consuming terrible project you have gone through? I think this might be mine... :) but at least the end was worth it!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and for the feature! :)
DeleteLooks fabulous! I just tore out the carpet on our stairs this summer and it's still waiting for it's makeover. ;) It's sportin a look of raw wood and patch marks, not so pretty. Hoping mine turns out as good as yours! Luckily, I don't have that many spindles or I may be rethinking. ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see it once its done! Feel free to share the link! The spindles are terrible! Some are lucky and those are already white... I wish I wouldve been that lucky! :)
DeleteSO beautiful! Having done a staircase makeover in my time (thought not quite as big!), I know how much work this is! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes it was a lot of work. I dont think I ever want to tackle another one! :)
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful:-) You guys did a fantastic job.. you've probably added thousands to the value of your place!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteTotally worth it...it looks great! We have a very similar staircase in our new house and I would love to do something like this someday...pinning for future inspiration! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck. It was worth it... but just a warning this project took me much longer than I had planned :) Would love to see yours once its done! thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteIt IS so beautiful! You give me hope that someday I'll get motivated and start pulling out endless staples from the carpet padding on my now naked but far from finished staircase. Sigh. My stairs aren't anywhere as impressive (or as many) as yours, so thanks for the inspiration. Visting from The Shabby Nest Frugal Friday.
