Well folks, it's done! Hubby and I (mostly Hubby) just converted our stairs. Here's the "before." As you can see behind me, we had traditional carpet covered steps.
Now see the finished product.
We had this project priced by several professionals and the lowest figure was $1500 (and that was just labor). We completed this project ourselves for right around $400.
Can you see the fear in his eyes? Yes, he totally ice skates down the stairs. He's only slipped on the bottom two steps. Now he's much more careful!
We're so happy with the result! it only took 3 weekends! We did the landing first then took it 3 steps per day from there! Ahhhh I love the sound of DIY success under my feet!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Isn't it a great feeling when you can do the project yourself.....and for much less $$$! Way to GO!
ReplyDeletethey look awwwesome! my hubby and i have our stairs torn up right now, and just haven't found the time to finish them(it doesn't help that its our only set of steps to get upstairs-to the only bathroom and the bedrooms, ugh!)...i'll show him this post for a little motivation!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. Thanks for participating in TILT, but please link directly to your post. I can't tell which post you are linking to and have had to delete a few from the Mr. Linky. If you need help doing so, let me know and I can give you more specific instructions. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteWow! They look amazing! We did that to our house last year and are still in awe of how much it transformed our living space!
ReplyDeleteI love them!! One flight of our stairs looks like your old ones and then other flight is already torn up. We want to do wood stairs too but we haven't done it yet. It is encouraging to see your success!
