Great job, Niky. I'd love to do a makeover for my stairs too but I'm not sure what to do to the hardwood flooring on the landing and the hallway cos they are the same colour as the stairs. I feel changing the colour of the stairs while the landing & hallway floor remain the oak colour might look tacky. Plus I like the floor and don't want to mess it up. Any suggestions please?

@DIYbyNikyFoster 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I would change the landing as well to the same color. If my stairs werent carpeted, I would paint the risers white and the landings black. ❤️❤️

Love how thorough you are! Just a thought: those sanding blocks are fairly expensive and wear out super fast. As an alternative, get sandpaper you can buy in bulk. Use a piece of wood as a block and cut to size and wrap it around.

I do definitely recommend doing those extra top coats when you get the chance. I recently built some doors for one of our rooms (two living rooms connected to each other). I only did two coats on the front of the doors, assuming I could get to them in a few months. Basic wear and tear has already left a noticeable "bald spot" on part of one door, and I now wish I had just done all of the top coats at once. The railings look great and totally make the space feel newer!

@DIYbyNikyFoster 2 жыл бұрын

Ooh thanks for the tips! I think I will. The top coat dries fairly quickly I noticed. I wanted to finish the video for you guys so that was another reason I only got to the 1 coat. Thanks so much!❤️❤️❤️

OMG so glad to have watched this video. This also one of the projects that I been wanting to tackle but because the trimming and windows is also honey oak I have held back. My house was built in 2004 and I think back then all that oak was what it was. I am so over the light work on trims and windows. I just want to make sure I don't have any regrets; however, you are inspiring to not be afraid and go for it. Lastly, major project will be my kitchen cabinets unless I just add black hardware for a pop and voila!😁Can't wait to go back and look over more of your videos.

Hello Queen Not sure if you still doing videos or even seeing the comments But I was and am inspired by your videos. So I watched this video that just knew I could do it. I moved into a 30 year old house and it needed some updates. So I went and got my paint, I did one coat as well which means it was a little thick but I liked it so I stayed with it, I let it dry. I was think it would dry like a paint but it was sticky so I was like ohhh let me apply the top coat. It has been a lot of work because when you miss so areas you get black stain on your hands or clothes. This was my very very first diy and I learned a lot. I wish you would have shared that part about the sticky part. However keep doing and keep sharing the videos. Thanks.

Hi Niky, enjoyed watching the make-over staircase makeover. I've used the same solution and it worked, but I tried and really like using Simply Green as it is good at cleaning and de-gloss with the use of Simply Green.
