I had some plain 'ol ugly looking stairs coming into my studio, and as I was sipping my tea one morning I thought I should add some panache to these stairs.
Snore Bore....Boring stairs coming into my crazy beautiful studio....why not create something fun...I'm going to try chalk painting them!
I chalk painted them with van Gogh Fossil Paint in Revenge Black and Chalk White! I wanted a bold yet classic type feel to them!
I then free hand drew, in different fonts, the little sayings ~~Why Not Sing, Sip Some Wine And Create Beautiful Things~~ RIGHT?? It is so inviting now and everyone that comes in comments on them! I wish I had more stairs to paint.
On the back wall of the step I used various stencils to make the little element designs. So sweet. I sealed them with a clear coat.
I painted these stairs back in 2015 and they are still holding up strong, and in an area with constant use!
Happy Jig!!

Have a question about this project?
How did that stairway go from two steps and the platform to three steps and then the platform??
