apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Wowza! That's cool.

I like

incredible- so graphic and bold a statement in an entryway has to set an excellent tone for the entire house!

I am in love with those stairs! Wow.

If I lived there, I would feel like Alice in wonderland

this is ultra cool. i want to do this to our stairs. they're currently unfinished ... might be a possibility

I love that idea!

Very clever! It looks great! I'd like to see something on the uppers though. The painted tops look a bit slick for socked feet.

Lovely! I wish I didn't have slated stairs!

i'd love to do something similar with my stairs; however, my stairs are wood colored and I don't want to paint them. Is there a pattern that would go with that? hrm.

So beautiful!

Wow!!! Really nice.

I was going to use painted tiles for my risers but now...

Wow, thanks for the inspiration. :->

MoJohnson -

Check out Halfingers slippers - they have some with soft non-skid soles. They'd work great with wood treads

I wonder how dogs do on wood stairs though. That's one reason mine still have carpeting.

WOW! Thank you all for the lovely comments about my stairs.

MoJohnson- Yes they look pretty slick, and we were sort of worried about that, but there's actually more traction on them than you'd probably expect.

Jolly- I got my wallpaper at Wallpaperfromthe70s.com, and I gaurantee you could find something to match your stairs. They're a great company.

Totally great. Makes me wish I had some stairs!

ahhh- why am i still renting?!

For painted stairs to not be so slick, simply sprinkle some sand (salt shaker works wonders for this job) when the paint is wet. Le voila, traction in a second!

I've done it a bunch of times and works like a charm.
