Necessity is the mother of invention! Amiright? If you have stairs, what do you do to keep them looking their best? I’m all ears!

@karencampbell9770 Жыл бұрын

I put individual carpet stair pads on my stairs. I used carpet tape. So far so good. I do like the looks of your runner though.

I use one of those little carpet scrubber machines like the Little Green Clean Machine. I also have a full sized carpet cleaning machine. I use them on all of area rugs and stair runners. I've done this for years. I just don't understand the need for washable rugs because I have my carpet scrubbers.

Beautiful job! Those stairs must feel so lush and luxurious to walk on now! I’ve always wanted a beautiful stair runner like this! Our wood stairs were painted when we bought our house. I’ve repainted them a different color and can just add another layer of paint once they wear down again. It’s totally possible that I’ll add a stair runner at some point but I quite like the current look and the ease of cleaning a hard surface.

Love that you don’t have to wash a rug the length of your whole stairs but just the dirty section! Beautiful!

I remember my mom doing this in their old house with stairs. I think she took the solid brass stair rods with her when they moved.😂 Great job!💪

@TheDriftwoodlover Жыл бұрын

The way the cost of brass has skyrocketed, your mom was smart to keep them. Quality was probably much better on the old ones too. 😉

@vjhreeves Жыл бұрын

At 60 bucks a pop who can blame her

@lazygardens Жыл бұрын

Stair runners were traditionally installed with extra "runner" length folded at the risers so the runner could be re-positioned to prevent excessive wear at the edge of the steps. You undo the rods, unstaple the folded bit and move the runner up or down, fold the excess again and reattach it. Tedious, but that's what housemaids were for.

We have wood stairs in our 1940 house. So far, they look great. A few scratches, but i think our no shoes policy keeps them nice. I will keep this in mind though, as we have only owned the past 4 years, so unsure when they were resurfaced. Your fix looks awesome!

@tulabead Жыл бұрын

Cost $840 and the rugs are $833 for a total of $1673 (does not include tax and shipping). Considering that your stairs are on the main floor, this "investment" makes more sense than if your stairs go into a basement or less visible area of the house. Runners are an option versus the smaller pads which I think make more sense since the selling point behind this product is that they can be bundled up easy and washed.

@SheHoldsDearly Жыл бұрын

This is true, I think that finding a source for just the brackets and cutting down pipe would bring the cost way down. It was very important that I just be able to wash a small section at a time, so it was worth the extra expense to me.

Very cool! Yep, you're a genius for sure! If you find that your new skin care doesn't give you 100% clear skin, a teeny tiny speck (less is definitely more here) of a generic antibiotic cream (not ointment) directly on the blemish will clear up a breakout faster than any other treatment I've found. It can also totally prevent a breakout if you feel one coming on and use the antibiotic cream. I've been treating breakouts this way for 10+ years and it's miraculous.

Yes, it was an investment, but refinishing them would have cost us a lot more and then wouldn't have lasted very long. I could even change out the style completely and use the same pads and rods later on.

This was popular in the 60's, our house, all my Auntie and Uncle's houses, friends.. everyone had it. There were eye bolts at each end screwed into the stair and gold rods that were very narrow, you put in 1 side then the other, they also had little round gold ball endcaps. Both the rods and the endcaps were really heavy, makes me think they were brass.

Very, very clever! $1,800 is generally very pricey for me and I font own a home but will keep this idea in my back pocket for if ever one day it's a fit. The idea of rugs/carpet on stairs feels like less potential for nervousness or injury than just hard stairs. Some people's stairs are also quite slippery! Plus this looks great.
