Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I would spend hours staring at that floor, trying to find all the words.

I think I am going to paint the hallway that leads to upstairs. It doesn't need to be scraped or anything, and it's a fairly small space and it's just...dull.
It'll allow me to practice my painting techniques, I'll be able to do it in a couple of days, and it's a small, connecting space, so I can paint it a fairly dramatic color.
I'm thinking a nice clear, bright turquoise. I have picture frames and some small, round mirrors in my registry, and I would like to hang those up there.
My biggest debate now is should I paint the risers, also turquoise, or just repaint them in a clean white? The steps themselves are a golden hardwood, and I won't paint those, but the...backsplash? what would you call that? to the steps are painted a dingy, scuffed white.

As an owner of an older house, please seal/varnish/clearcoat before painting. Signed, wants to return my banisters to their original wood someday, but likely badly paintstained.

That's a good idea. ALL of our wood floors need resealed, but that won't happen this year.
The steps, that can.

Erin, my vote is for gilding the risers and stencilling them.
Because that's what I did. [link]
(I'd actually vote for a crisp white on the risers with an accent stencil in color of the hall.)

oh pretty!
The only stairs I have are two, I think in the garage up to the now mud-room to the house. I may put polka dots on them.

Ooh, those are really pretty wallpapers, msbelle.
We have some FUGLY wallpaper in the upstairs hallway left over from the former owners. It's some seriously ralph-inducing 80's pink stuff. What's tragic is that under it, is a gorgeous blue paisley paper that I love.
I like the stencils a lot, Plei. I think I may paint the risers white, and do a stencil in a silver. If I could fine paisley, that would be awesome. D. loves paisley, and so do I.

People really like the stairs when they see them. They're a real crowd-pleaser. The best part is, the actual stencil part didn't take long at all. (The gilding took forever.)
