Who knew paint could do this to an old staircase!!!

I am super excited to share this staircase makeover. Living in an old house isn't easy and I feel like every corner needs to be renewed or made-over with a fresh coat of paint.icon I've seen a lot of ombre stairs on pinterest and knew that some day I wanted something similar in my home.

So I figured I couldn't go wrong with ombre on these stairsicon . Before starting off with Bonding primer I sanding down my stairs. I would recommend using bonding primer for any floor painting job. I painted my laminate kitchen floor a few years ago with this same stuff and I am super happy with the durability. For a high traffic area it held up really well.

Once the primer has dried and set I started by mixing my colors and worked my way from dark to light.


It’s been a week and I still can’t get enough. I’ll be honest I was afraid I would get sick of the vibrant colors but.. it puts a smile icon on my face every time I walk on my new stairs. One corner done 20 more to go.. icon Can't wait to match the rest of my craft room. icon

    Your craft room must be an interesting shape, 20 corners?

    Nice, but you need to take it a step further … paint the riser too! This looks half finished.
