Halleluja! I will never paint banisters again.
I really, truly mean it.
I started watching episodes of 30 Rock on Netflix while I painted. I began with season one, episode one. By the time I finished I was on the fourth season, episode fourteen. That’s seventy two episodes of painting with a quarter inch wide paint brush.
Never again!
Here’s a look at before:
And during:
And here’s the after:
I love how it turned out.
Which is good because it is never changing again.
Until we rip up the filthy carpet of course. I do have thirty episode left. :)

The stairs look awesome.
P.S. I found your blog when I was looking at chair makeovers from prudentbaby. I'm not a blog stalker. I promise

So worth it. They look fabulous. Ashley keeps telling me I need to watch 30 Rock. I love Tina Fey so I am committing to watch them all.

This is wonderful! What did you do for the paint? This is EXACTLY what I would love to do with my stairs!!! Beautiful blog! So glad I found it!

I used the Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations for the stairs. So far they have held up great!

Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been getting geared up to do the same to my banister, but wasn’t sure on the best paint for it. Love your floors, too. What are they made of?

Hi Natalie,
I’ve been scouring your blog all morning…I’m in love with it…especially you outdoor playhouse. From the sound of it, sounds like it was a beast of a project though.
I was totally hoping to get more info on your staircase. Turned out superb. I need to paint mine. How did you do it? Sprayer, brush, roller? I’d love some tips!
