![]() ![]() To get what was needed to cover the steps, I would need to spend around $270- more than I wanted, especially for an experiment. A little digging and I was able to find out that it was a Dash and Albert carpet. I decided that was just what our stairs needed. It made their stairs so fun and happy looking. I had been eyeing a striped carpet runner that I saw on account on Instagram. It’s just…the life of a staircase.īut that doesn’t mean, you don’t deserve to have a little fun. Yes, we “walk all over you”, but it isn’t done with a malicious intent. (I am a lazy DIY-er….and one who likes immediate gratification on projects.) While they looked better than when we first moved in, they still looked a bit…sad. We picked a brown color that matched our flooring, painted them and called it “done’ for the time being. So, I gave up the idea of having them stained. I quickly realized that wouldn’t be an easy or quick fix. I tried to see what sanding them would be like. (classy, huh?) Then I painted the risers white. We actually lived with the steps like that for over a year…. They were carpeted when we bought it, but we had that removed before we moved in (intending on sanding and staining them soon). Our stairs have looked a bit… ahem, rough, for the entire 6 years we’ve lived in this house. (But let’s totally sing “A Whole New World” while we “travel” from floor to floor, ok? ) Unlike Aladdin, this carpet can only take you from upstairs to downstairs. So after 13 years, her wish has come true.) (To my mom it probably feels like a magic carpet- she’s been wanting us to have carpeting on our stairs in our last TWO houses. (If you know how to make this happen, PLEASE let me know!) Something new in our house, though, IS a carpet. ![]() (wink) Magic Carpet… RunnerĪs much as I would like one, I don’t have a magic carpet. A magic carpet- how cool would THAT be? It definitely would get good gas milage- and be very eco-friendly. Whenever Jasmine and Aladdin boarded that magic carpet, I could imagine flying along with them. Did you grow up watching Disney movies? I can still sing the entire soundtrack to so many of them: The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Aladdin…. ![]()
