~it's all about the stairs~

 Thank you for all the kind comments and

concern for my sick daughter, Kenzie!

I thought for sure she had the flu, but

her soar throat wasn't getting any better.  And when the flu-like

symptoms went away and the soar throat didn't... I thought I better

get her tested for strep.

and

sure enough it came back positive...

So she's on antibiotics & already feeling better...it's actually

a relief to know what it is & that it can be treated! 

so what else has been on my mind??

Stairs!  

You are all by now probably familiar with my house projects and projects and projects...

but one of the latest projects looming is our stairs!

I wish the stairs in the picture were ours!

they are not....

But, here's where you come in!

{I would love your feedback......}

I love these stairs...

I love the color, the farmhouse...cottage-y feel

and especially

the painted wood walls!

*

am I daring enough to go for it?

*

before you answer....have a look at some more ideas...

I really like these too.  I like the painted risers & the stained stairs.

I wonder about how well painted stairs would hold up to kids & such...?

These above are probably a little more practical & do-able.

Painted stairs would likely end up shabby & worn

similar to these above 

but...

do we really care about that?

isn't that kinda what we are all liking?

am I going to be ok with that? or am I going to feel like

I need to repaint??? you know the natural man in me....

on these...what I really like is the rustic timber on the edge.

I'm not a big fan of the 'light blue everything else'

but I'm thinking that could possibly be a way to

sneak some rustic wood into my home.

I found this on apartment therapy.  Kinda like the metal signs.

This is a recent revamp from

Just Beachy

It's kinda fun to number the steps huh?

here's another example

I'm really liking the painted stair runner with the numbers.

I like the stenciled stairs too.

I really like the saying on these.

I really like this too, there is a part of me that would love

to paint our upstairs hallway wood floor & carry it down the stairs

It would give our home a definite farmhouse feel to do this.

especially with our narrow hallway & stairwell!!!

and lastly, we could always do all wood....?

but I don't think I'm feeling that.

I'm feeling a little more painted- ish.

ok that wasn't the last....I'm still contemplating....

I guess I'm really feeling a bit wishy-washy.....

wanna help?  leave your opinion....

then I'll focus on something else....

like my craft sewing room redo and

my sewing projects, and

the master bedroom, and

the master bath, oh

and don't forget the main upstairs bath

and...and...and...

oh and yeah Thanksgiving & Christmas.......

it's time

to

get out 

the

Christmas

decorations.....

I am excited..really...seriously I am, it's just dragging them out of the attic

no what I really mean is having hubby drag them out of the attic....

I'm sure he'll be thrilled anxious to do that for me :0)

Till next time!
