Stairs

A month or so ago I posted a photo about ideas for stairs. I needed to re-do my stairs, the before photo doesn't look too bad but our stairs were pretty banged up and it was going to be to be too much work for me to strip and stain the stairs so I decided to paint the risers. I used linen paint by Restoration Hardware, I painted the both the walls and the risers. For Thanksgiving I added some canning jars with leaves attached to them and I simply put some tea candles in them to add a little sparkle!

I Love

I read alot of design blogs and gather photos along the way that inspire me and give me ideas for my own house. Unfortunately I don't remember what site I got this photo from but I have always loved it. I have a set of wood stairs in my house that I have always found quite boring.

If I were brave and motivated I would do this to my stairs. I imagine it looking quite lovely with candles up every other stair during a party at night!
