Another Makeover for the Stairs

So you saw the quick fix on the stairs, I used shelf paper I bought from the dollar store, it was nice but and the quality and selection wasn't that great. After removing the shelf paper, I realized this would have lasted forever, it took so much time to remove it, and its easy to clean. But the new wallpaper was bought and some of the stain from the stairs got onto the paper so we had to remove it.

It wasn't easy to remove this...not bad for only $2 a roll at Dollarama.

The stairs used to have carpet, they were so damaged with lots of holes.

That's why I used the shelf paper to give it a quick fix before the stairs were refinished.

 

This wallpaper is really good quality, and at $40 a roll it definitely should be.

We needed about 2 rolls... Make sure when you buy your wallpaper

you can flip the pattern sideways, depending on how wide your step is, if you cut it

sideways you can do more steps and without having to match up 2 pieces and 

you won't have to use to many rolls.

Don't forget to measure twice so you can only cut once.

Once your wallpaper is all cut, start pasting it to the back of the stairs.

Some paper is self adhesive but this one wasn't I had to buy some wallpaper

paste, I used a brush to apply it and then applied the wallpaper, there is time to

do adjustments before it dries.

I love how the stairs turned out, a lot more interesting than 

just painting it white. 

What do you think of this look.

Simple Chair Makeover

 

This chair was on the curb, who would throw away this awesome chair, I grabbed right away...walking quickly as I see other neighbours eyeing the chair waiting to make their approach, my advantage, it was my next door neighbour. I grabbed it quickly, the seat and upholstery was in amazing shape.

All it needed was a coat of paint and voila a beautiful piece of furniture.

Cheap Temporary Fix

My mom removed the carpet from the stairs, didn't care what was underneath it all she cared about was ripping it all out...she was getting sick of seeing the same carpet. Well the stairs were not in great shape, and she did not want to redo the stairs now so I offered to do a little makeover so the stairs could be nice enough where whenever she walked up the stairs she wouldn't cringe. I found this great adhesive paper at the dollar store, it only cost $2 a roll and it was easy to apply, no water no mess...just the sticky back.

UPDATE:

My mom has refinished the stairs and all the flooring in the house, she didn't get the back of the stairs finished because she loves how paper looks, so I removed the paper to apply a better quality wallpaper, so check back in a few days for the new pics!
