I wanted to show you where we are on our stair progress....and I say we....cuz hubby was kind enough to help me finish ripping up the carpeting....he's my knight in shining armor....or better yet....my handyman in jeans. But first I thought I'd share with you a couple photos from my pin board on Pinterest that are my inspiration.
Can you see where I'm going with this project....I love stripes and ticking.
Okay....so here's where we're at. The carpets all pulled off.....and the wood steps are actually in really good condition....they just need a little bit of wood filler, caulking and some sanding.
There was only one board that we had to replace.....and see the landing in the photo up there....we're going to remove the press board that's there and add a planked wood landing instead.I do believe I'm gonna love how this turns out.....that is of course if it looks like either one of the top photos.
And can I just say.....now that I removed the carpet on the stairs....and I'm lovin' it....I wonder how I can convince the hubby that we need to remove the rest of the carpet in the basement....hmmm.
Stay tuned!
Way to go! You are coming right along. I need to be sharing our stairway project. It is almost finished. So fun to see it nearing completion. I know yours is gonna look gorgeous! Can't wait to see more photos as you do more to it:)

How funny - I was looking at the magazine that the 'ticking staircase' is from just yesterday! It is nice, isn't it? They also had a grain-sack covered sofa - yum!!

Andrea these stairs are going to look amazing. Once you start ripping up carpet its kinda hard to stop. I say do the basement too, you will be so glad that you did. Sandy x
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be gorgeous . . . I can feel it : )!!
ReplyDeleteGood bye carpet, hello loveliness. I bought a handheld Dyson vac that I store in my basement. It gets all the dust bunnies off the painted stairs and is a great time saver.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking fantastic so far...I'm so glad your wood was in good condition! I LOVE the inspiration photo...this is going to look SO good!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane

You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWe have stairs that could use revamping.
This may be just what it takes to get me motivated.
Or maybe I'll just live vicariously through you!
A ton of hard work, but it's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy week to you,
Zuzu
If I could get rid of all the carpet in my house, I would in a heart beat, I HATE carpet, HATE it! and my dear, everything you touch is gorgeous, so I have no doubt your stairs are going to be fabulous! xo
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteI love where your stairs are leading -- vintage farmhouse perfection!
