Staircase Facelift

Chris and I felt like our staircase did not match the rest of our house or our style. Purchasing a new staircase and banister was out of the question and sanding it would have been a huge mess to do inside. Instead of sanding we found a cheap and faster alternative. All you need is cover stain primer and paint color of your choice. We opted for the two tone look....Enjoy!







Supplies:
Cover stain primer $20
White semi-gloss: already had from other projects
Behr paint in Espresso Bean (only needed a sample can) $5
Brushes: $30

Total: $55

    Looks great...I just recently started redoing the ( unusual amount) of railings in our house....I think that I will need to try this....what kind of paint did you use for your railings. Looks really nice! I'm your newest follower!
