When I see decorated stairs we can't help but think about how dedicated the person that decorated them is. It really takes a lot to look at stairs and think that you'd love to spend the time painting them and sprucing them up so they are as beautiful as the rest of your home.

I certainly dream of the day that I can spruce up all the bits and pieces of my home when I'm finally a home owner. But for now, I'll just relish in the beauty of others hard work.

The fun part of decorating stairs is that there are so many different ways to do it. You can go super sleek and chic by painting them black (or just the tops black). Go ultra funky and paint a thick black stripe going up the center of the stairs or preppy with some stenciled patterns.

You might not have even been thinking of step-centric projects as an option; but you never know — you could really love the outcome.
