Do you recall what the first home makeover project was that you tackled? I don’t remember what the first project ever was for me, but in this house, one of the first was the staircase makeover. Pinterest and blogland are full of DIY staircase makeovers. Here are two of mine.
“Before”
It was a typical builder-grade, carpeted staircase.
With cream colored spindles and and an oak bannister. A common 90’s style staircase.
“After”
It’s pretty amazing what a huge difference a little paint and stain can make!
The good news is, is that this staircase makeover was not the nightmare project I thought it would be. For the staircase makeover step by steps, click here. And for the details on how I refinished the banister, click here.
There is one more staircase makeover that I tackled. It was a little different.
I must have forgotten to take a photo of this staircase before we removed the carpet. Trust me. It didn’t look any better ; )
This staircase is in my daughter’s home.
I lovingly called it a “scarecase to starecase” makeover ; ) The full story and details on that staircase makeover can be found here.
Jeanie,
Great job on both redo’s. I did one at my daughter’s house years ago when she moved there. It’s a lot of work.

This is amazing! I love your chic update!
I love what you chose to do. I have a staircase that needs redoing. Thanks for linking up to The Talk of the Town link party.
Hand rails are an important part of making your ramp or stairs friendly for those who need assistance. Very informative.

Hello, I’m going to write about my court drama at some point. Utter ridiculousness that I was forced in that direction. Starting small is exactly the way to go E.M. One property at a time and one that is definitely affordable. I’ve known people who have rented out their basements. I don’t know if I could do that…I’d prefer a bit of distance between myself and the tenants.WiFi

I am traveling to Paris this Easter and will be with my daughters (15 yrs old ) and other adult cousins. We are staying in Paris and hoping to do the same day trip as you. Do you know if you can still rent bikes without having to take an expensive tour? We plan on taking an early train and getting to the Vernon train station by 8:30 a.m.santa ana boulevard
I like and agree with everything you’ve said. But I was a parent who entertained my older child when she was a baby. I didn’t so it on purpose, but just felt that I should be with her every second. I did much better with my second, giving her time to play and explore on her own. But now my oldest, who is 7, does expect to be entertained. Do you have any advice on how to help us change this habit? She comes to me looking for a playmate, I offer her a suggestion on what she can do, she goes off by herself or I play with her, then 10 minutes later, she is asking me for some other suggestion or to play with her again. It is an exhausting cycle and I would love to try and change it.El Gregal Curridabat
I think the biggest problem for 18 year olds investing is that it’s not on their radar unless their parents teach them for it to be. I am going to speak to high school classes soon, and this is definitely a topic I want to bring up in hopes of influencing students who don’t have those influences at home
Stairs enhance the beauty of the house and i really like black and white stairs. I will also paint my stairs this kind.
Camping with your baby can be a lot of fun, and can be a special time between you and your baby. Babies adjust easily and seem to enjoy the new sights and sounds of camping. There are many items made for a baby and for use with a baby on a camping trip. Thanks for the amazing information.lisa
