Im sure you were all at the edges of your seats to see how the great stair debate would turn out. I figured I'd let the collective universe breathe a sigh of relief that I went with the cream risers.
Even an unrelenting bitch like me gives in sometimes :)
I think it looks great!
ReplyDeleteStrong words, yikes, we all have strong opinions, I am sure you aren't a bitch , but a woman with hundreds of decisions and details to wade through. The stairs look great , I think that they would have looked good in black too.
ReplyDeleteI have taken your stair image and shown the risers in black, they look bold and lovely. I will put it up on blog, hope you don't mind, come take a look.
ReplyDeleteI still think they would have looked better in black. But I gave in on this one since it wasn't something I felt that would look bad in the cream. It looks fine. Bland but fine.
ReplyDeleteI love the cream stairs. I saw a picture of both on another blog and I think yo made the right decision. The cream makes the stairs stand out more and you notice the rich wood.
ReplyDeletea hand painted decorative scene painted on the risers would look awesome.... something to think about!
ReplyDeleteI can paint it!
I'm laughing and laughing at this--we are in this turmoil at my house. I am SOOOO TIRED of scrubbing off the scuff marks from toes going up the steps! I've vowed to paint my risers chocolate brown. I haven't won yet... still trying.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'll admit I am also the woman who painted my mudroom this summer--after ten years of a lovely adobe color I gave in and painted it the color of...yes...MUD! (it looks great and I'm through fighting the inevitable tide of marks from the dog, the kids, the hubby, etc...)
