First must do is cleaning this place from top to bottom. No easy feat with toddler in tow (we tried yesterday and it was an epic fail. Attempt #2 will require a babysitter.)
It also means I have to actually order/make/buy the stuff that I need to replace in here including drapes, art, a new kitchen table, accessories, etc. In other words, fun for me!
As you can see from the photo, the stair runner is installed. Mr. Limestone isn't so much of a fan but I love this pattern. I couldn't find a runner rug that fit the bill so instead we hacked up a few of these indoor/outdoor door mats. I think it looks great but we shall see how it holds up over time.

HI! I love how you did the runner. We're looking to do something similar. Any chance you could feature how you installed the runner?
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon. Thanks. I didn't bother with a tutorial since Rhoda from Southern Hospitality already did such a great job of one. She had a bigger staircase and used longer rugs but its exactly the same idea. You can read it here: http://southernhospitalityblog.com/painted-stairs-and-adding-runners/
DeleteHow many runners did you purchase and for how many steps?
ReplyDeleteI used 5 rugs but I dont remember how many steps - rather I measured each rise/step to make sure I wouldn't be left with a seam in the middle of a step. The more rugs, the more cutting, so its best to get longer rugs. These are just pretty narrow steps so I couldn't go with the standard 30 inch runner rugs. If I could, I could have just used one!
