Painted Stairs

I have always wanted to paint steps and I finally got the chance. These are the steps that go down to my basement (so hardly anyone sees them). This actually made it a much easier project to dive into because I had nothing to lose. They could not look any worse and no one would see it if I messed up. First, I cleaned them extremely well. Then I painted the center of the steps a leftover cream color I had. All the paints I used were leftovers from other projects. I actually mixed some colors too. I did not want to spend any money on this. I had measured and marked off my black edges before I started. I was too cheap and lazy to use painters tape. Plus, I knew I would come back with my little wavy brown line where the black and cream met, so it didn't need to be perfect. This project took me awhile and I did ruin a pair of shorts by sitting on paint that I thought was dry. All in all, I could not be happier with how the stairs turned out.

Look at this cutie. What a blessing to be able to stay home with him!!!
