Running away
What to do with stairs? You could paint them, or carpet them, but what about doing both? Step one: restrain and paint the stairs. Step two: fix a mesh net down the center of your stairs. Step three: staple your chosen fabric into the wood through the mesh with a staple gun.
You’ll end up with a fresh vibe, evoking beach-front properties where you wander soaking up the fresh sea air in a floaty smock dress. That may just be my daydream. Wherever you imagine yourself being, your stairs will now take you there!
