Marilyn Monroe Staircase

If your sick of looking at your boring stairs, change them with something different
The wallpaper cost me £20 and I already had the paint, the glitter and nail art cost me £2 from Poundland.
It is a very good talking point and I have had lots of wonderful compliments.

After I ripped up the carpet this is what my boring staircase looked like
There were loads of these carpet grippers, one on each riser and one on each step
I bought some Marilyn Monroe wallpaper and made the paste really thick, you need to measure every step and cut out before pasting.
I wanted to put my own stamp on this just in case somebody copied my idea, so I bought some nail art jewellery and I had some flat back diamond beads and I decorated Marilyn's dresses
I gave Marilyn an earring and a diamond necklace
I added glitter to this dress to make it more glamorous.
Enjoyed the project?

Forshawtink...WOW.. I was blown away when I saw what you did! I too love the unusual and unique and think outside the box on everything I do. For someone who has never done something like this, you did an amazing job and it looks stunning!! I personally wouldn't use family photos unless I planned on living in my home forever. You chose an icon, someone who will probably never be forgotten and thats unique in itself. I don't know what you do for a living but you might consider interior design! Thank you so much for sharing!
