A Pinch of Joy

Eat Healthy, Do it Yourself, Live Well, Have Fun.

Stellar Staircases – The vision

I love painted staircases.  Dark treads, painted or stained a deep rich brown.  Or may be black or a dark gray.  Light colored risers — preferably white to contrast with the dark tread.     I finally narrowed my Staircase dreams to ten possibilities.

Classic dark and white appealed to me: stairs3                                                                        Bloomerism

So did the dark and white combination with words: stairs-finished-815x1024                                                                                  Lisa’s Creative Designs      

Or numbers: foyer 2[3] Dixie Delights

On the other hand, patterned risers were intriguing.  In bright colors:

Or pattern in a nuetral:

Or maybe a monochromatic scheme: 5675770502_0e660172c5_thumb[3] home and harmony

Color on white seems fresh and inviting.

One color with delicate stencilling?  Hmmmm.

Neutral with stencil?

Or bold with vinyl?

So many possibilities!!!!  So much inspiration! 

However, a theme has begun to emerge and ideas take shape!

And a decision made.
