You didn't mention sanding between coats, did you? The poly says to sand lightly before second coat. I'm having a really hard time putting sand paper to my pretty stairs, but they aren't that smooth. Maybe sanding it would make it smoother or maybe it isn't that big of a deal if I dont. So, since you are in my stairspiration, please let me know your thoughts on this. Email me if you have time... esneeringer@hotmail.com<br />thanks!Erika Staplesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-52308210089622783172010-10-01T17:58:27.320-04:002010-10-01T17:58:27.320-04:00Never thought I could love a staircase so much!

The great results, thanks again to you, on our staircase motivated us to do the board and batten thing to our master. Wish I had a time machine cuz the hub and I used real wood, not MDF, and it did add up.<br />BTW my senior daughter and I checked out Butler U on Wed. Dang it was HOT in Indy. I told her I wanted to ditch the campus tour and hit some of my Thrifty "friend's" shopping stops instead!

We just moved here. My friend recommended your site to give me ideas on what to do with this slickasawhistle ugly carpet of mine! I'm so glad she did!! I 'Luuurve' your blog!!! I've been reading ALL day and I will be reading for the rest of my life I think :) Feeling quite the itch to go peek under my staircarpet- not a lovable pet btw - and tear it all to shreds. Also quite considering the bamboo shade thing. I'm def into shades. So yeah, and a comment on your stairs (beautiful btw) is to not, i repeat not do the other side! It looks beautiful just like that!! I think the board & batten up the center really anchors it and makes the whole thing come alive...but I also love the texture of the other side and the two sides together...so my 2 cents there. Well bye for now and again, so glad to find you!Ashleydownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-66420054397187939462010-08-12T15:04:23.353-04:002010-08-12T15:04:23.353-04:00You stairs look great.

I was wondering about the white risers ...Great job! I was wondering about the white risers on your steps--do you ever have problems with them getting scuffed up by shoes? Or are you a shoe-free in the house family? We had white semi-gloss risers in our last home and they scuffed up badly really quickly. It wouldn't even come off with cleaning, so I had to paint at least once a year. That memory stops my from doing something like this in our current house. Is there a way to prevent it? Some coating or something?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253667208965598663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-1738438224851856902010-08-12T09:59:48.396-04:002010-08-12T09:59:48.396-04:00why not take down the brass holder thingys and spr...why not take down the brass holder thingys and spray paint them like infarrantly creative did with her door knobs? you can check out her post on the durability of it here: http://www.infarrantlycreative.net/2010/08/spray-painted-doorknobs-pt-2.html<br /><br />just a thought!

I think I'm about to take my first crack at some molding very soon. I need something that breaks up all the browns in my house. Brown tile, tan walls, brown furniture. Ugh.
