Stair envy ...

For quite a while now I have wanted a staircase makeover.  I think this area could use a major shot in the arm.  A new banister, new spindles, a runner instead of carpet.  Black risers instead of white. Basically take the girl in to the plastic surgeon and come out with a complete makeover.  Not just a little Botox but a total face lift.  She is so early 1980s.


I have been pinning to my Stairs board for a while and have quite a number of great ideas!  All I need is a contractor and some time on my hands.  Heck, I may even ditch the stripes and bring an incredible paper into the space.  I mean if you are going to make a change why not make it MAJ!!

There are a couple of things I know I want; an animal print runner, new banister with a fun Chippendale design and a new handrail.  Like I said ... take the girl in and come out looking fresh, new and incredibly fabulous.  

It will happen one day and until then I will pin away and continue to look for incredible inspiration. As you know ... in the visual world we live in its just about everywhere.
