I LOVE this idea. Repurposed & a great conversation piece! Overtime I am sure some of the logo's paint would wear, but oh well! Get another board! Maybe from a favorite vacation spot or a crate of champagne from a special event. What a funny carry-on at the airport coming back from France or something holding this old board! "Yeah I need it, one of my steps needs to be repaired!"
I remember when this first post and I loved and stairs and still do. I don't believe anything anyone collects would be considered junk to them; to each their own but no need to be mean.
With the exception of those cool stairs, this is not my style but I love how cohesive her style is and I enjoyed going through the tour the 2nd time around.
I live in a port town. More than once, while helping friends renovate, I've discovered the stairs are made of old shipping crates.. Unfortunately the wood is too rough, so it either has to be sanded down (removes cool labels) or we had to put carpet over it again.
Wow! I love this. It's so original and a great reuse of old things.
