or maybe it's the three kids.
or maybe it's just close to nine years of wear and tear.
but our stairs were scratched and worn and in desperate need of a face lift.
i found this tutorial online using my favorite dash and albert rugs and knew instantly this was exactly what our stairs needed!
i went to my favorite online shop, white flower farmhouse, and ordered a couple of runners.
we bought some rug padding at lowe's and john installed it all this weekend.
BY HIMSELF!
reason #1671 why i love my husband: he is a master with a staple gun.
why we waited until it was dark to take pictures is beyond me.
the rug is a dark taupe with navy, aqua and cream stripes.
it's called blue heron stripe if you look at the dash and albert site.
as with most of our projects, i have no idea why we waited so long to do this.
what a difference!
i love the end result and couldn't be happier.

looks so good!
or stairs are getting painted this winter. i can't wait.
Totally copying this someday!
Your stairs look amazing! Kudos to the Blogstress for the idea and Hubby for the installation.
At the same time I can't help but cringe inwardly a tiny bit... I recently refinished the hardwood in my house, including the stairs, and spent Many MANY hours pulling old staples out of the risers because the owner before me went a little crazy with the staple gun.
That is gorgeous!
