Thrifty Decor Chick Staining Stairs, It S Meg And She S Doing Stuff Stained Stairs Good Enough For Me

Downstairs toilet ideas. Hands down my favorite transformation in our house. I am still trying to talk hubby into doing this. A friend of mine told me that when she did it she made sure to stain every other stair one day and then the opposite the next so they could actually go up the stairs at night.

Your stairs are gorge. I thought it was good advice. I would have much preferred to paint the ceiling and then stain the wood after but because i was at the mercy of someone elses schedule i did the steps the opposite way i would typically recommend.

Would the stain look even halfway decent if it was applied to the plywood. I chose not to stain beforehand because thats just how i do things i prefer to stainpaint after everything is installed. Makes me wish we had stairs in our home to do a makeover.

Alas we live in a rambler. Last year i was itchin to tackle a certain project for months. You can have a beautiful home without spending a fortune.

Our stairs dont have hardwood on top and we are on a budget so i dont foresee getting hardwood anytime soon. Sarah of thrifty decor chick is back with another amazing diy project. Even a subfloor painted looks better than stained carpet any day in my book.

Im still in beast mode as i work on finishing up the loftcraft roomoffice makeover. Stain dries pretty quick compared to the poly make sure you wipe down each step after applying the stain. Too much stain will gum up and take a looong time to dry.

In fact i researched it for quite some time and in january i finally got up the courage and went after itand im so glad i did. It wasnt a big deal though. I just finished up a diy bathroom vanity that i wanted to share with you.

See how she created this beautifully modern bathroom vanity. Gotta say i agree with all the other comments. That project was ripping the carpet off of our stairs and stainingpainting the wood underneath.
