Carpet on stairs gets so many stains and wears out so quickly! Find the answer to your problems here !

Phase 1

For about a year I have been thinking about redoing our stairs. Should I?Can I? Would I dare? Rip up carpet?? So I did.

The project continues with a day of sanding and scraping up the paint and caulk that was on the stairs.

Phase 2

Phase 3

After stairs were all cleaned up good, I could start painting. I primed the risers with a white primer.

Then I painted the treads with the brown. We loved the color Behr Sweet Molasses, it is a true chocolate color–rich and warm and has lots of character.
