Stairs before and after - modern farmhouse

11 months ago

These are the back stairs in our modern farmhouse style home. We gave them a facelift. We cleaned them, filled the holes, sanded, stained, painted and polied. The railing got sanded, stained and polied too. Do you have any other suggestions for updating or do you think that we are done? I should say these are the back stairs leading up to a different part of the house so they are not the main stairs.

    Looks done to me unless you want to throw a runner down but that is a different look entirely.

    I did question a runner and/or the stair carpet ones that are just on the stair

    They look great. I agree that a runner is safer on wooden steps and something that works with the rest of your decor shouldn’t be hard to find.

    Oh the stencils are great!!!! That may be what I was looking for.

    I purchased some of these as a temporary fix while I was waiting to have my stair treads replaced/stairway redone. My project was delayed by the contractor - so, I needed them in a hurry before Christmas - and they delivered them to me in FOUR days (typical lead time is 2-3 weeks). Shipping is free.


    I now have them on the basement stairs (we will be refinishing the basement in the next year or so). They are great because there are no nails or adhesive needed to install them - they just have some grippy material on the bottom side. They can be removed easily (just pick it up - and you can just lay them back down - there isn't a set number of times that you can put them off and on) + if one is damaged, you can just replace it vs. replacing an entire runner.


    Also, you can have a custom sized runner made for your hallway + a custom area rug to fit the dimensions needed for your landing.


    They have a broad range of prices depending upon which carpet you select (+ depending on the width and depth needed for each tread - they are custom made for you):


    Sisal - these are the ones I purchased for the my "temporary fix" (they are a little bit lighter than they appear in the photo below - also the edges do not stick up on mine + the bullnose fits well - I just am not at home and don't have a photo of my basement staircase - so, I couldn't post a photo of my own set):

    The above come in the below color also:

    The next set of carpet treads below are one of their lower priced ones + bestselling ones:



    They are available on Etsy (that's how I found them) - however, I believe that I saw them sold on Amazon before - but you couldn't order custom widths/depths - and they only offered their least expensive ones.


    They also have their own website:

    They were a great company to deal with - went out of there way to help me out when I needed them in a hurry. I've owned them now for four years - they still look great.
