Weekend Warrior- Stairs Edition

To those who know me it is no secret that I do many home repairs and remodeling myself. When I can't handle the task at hand completely by myself I simply call Daddy for some help. I have painted my entire home myself and redone furniture and even laid my own pergo flooring on the first floor.

My stairs going to the second floor have long been an eyesore to me but was never an undertaking I wanted to take on while Eddie was still with me in his old age. I didn't think he would be able to do the steps without the carpet on them. I originally set out to have the tops be the natural wood finish with only the front of the stairs painted but that was dashed when I pulled the carpet off. Some one may years back had painted the stairs with a white enamel paint already.  I was forced to simply prime and paint the whole stair to match my woodwork. The stairs treads I laid down once painted were from Home Depot. The paint I have used on my woodwork throughout the whole house is called French Pastry by Valspar.
