Bee happy ..... paint your stairs

I have more pictures to share with on my stairs and hallway.

First off, the front door bell had this ugly gold/cream cover so I decided to change it.


The landing floor has been painted.


The stairs have been sanded and cleaned.


You can see the door bell cover has been sprayed with paint to match in better to the decoration and it now doesn't look so old and messy.


I have painted the white again on the stairs and my little helper is again offering her services in marking up with masking tape.



The stairs are all masked up and ready for the central bare wood section to be painted.


The grey has now been painted in the middle.


Time to pull the masking tape off.


Oh no! the masking tape has also pulled off some the white paint, I hate masking tape!!

I have now touched up any bits that need it and the stairs are ready for a big reveal :)

Bee happy x
Have a delicious day!

  1. The stairs look great! I love how you have gone with two colours, the white with the grey in the centre.
    What a cute little helper you have as well!
    The doorbell cover looks better in the matching grey :)

  6. ohh that is COOL! the stairs look great, I love it. I was never a big fan of people putting those kind of carpets on the stairs because it's a bit too traditional for me, but this is a great/ more contemporary alternative

  8. They look great. My mum recently covered up her painted stairs with carpet, which I thought was a shame as she had made such a good job of them - she will be 73 next week!

  9. The stairs look great - I love that effect. And painting the ugly door bell thing was a great idea - so much better than buying a new one. Another great job!

  14. Your idea for the stairs is great. Nice job! Masking tape does have a nasty habit of pulling the paint off. There is another called painter's tape. I've seen it in blue, and it's specifically designed for paint jobs. It's less likely to peel off the paint.

    Have a good day,

  18. The white looks lovely! So crisp and clean and bright! I've just repainted my bathroom floorboards white and I'm so happy every time I look at it! By the way, I agree about my daughter's posters! The rest of her room is lovely though, I love going in there and find it hard to leave!
