11 cool ways to dress up your stairs

March 5, 2015 by Stefanie Girard

11 stair makeovers

All these cool ways to dress up stairs makes me wish I had a staircase! Pop on over to the blog Decorating Your Small Space to see all the great ideas on how you can decorate your stairs. I bet some of these techniques could be used to temporarily decorate for holidays or seasonally. See the full tutorial here.

Also a great way to add a splash of color to a staircase or hide damage to and old staircase. We recently visited a home that had damage to the carpet on the stairs, fraying and torn corners where the carpet sits on the edge of the stair. The home owner, decided to take a chance and pull up the carpet, she was lucky to find beautiful wood stairs, hidden all those years under tatty old carpet. Sometimes you just have to take a chance, and live on the edge (of the stair case ).

Check out these Stair Case Decals, you simply stick them into place.

Turn Dollar Store Finds into Stunning Vintage Decor with This Easy DIY Milk Glass Hack!

If you’ve ever swooned over the elegant, timeless look of vintage milk glass—but not the antique store price tag—then this DIY trick is about to blow your mind. With just a few simple supplies and a little spray paint magic, you can transform ordinary glassware into beautiful, faux milk glass pieces that look like they’ve been passed down through generations.

This easy milk glass DIY is perfect for budget-conscious decorators, thrift store treasure hunters, and anyone looking to add a touch of farmhouse charm or vintage flair to their home. Think classic vases, fruit bowls, pitchers, candle holders—the possibilities are endless.

The secret? Glossy white spray paint. That’s it. The trick is in the prep work: make sure your glass is clean and smooth, then apply light, even coats for that flawless porcelain finish. It’s an affordable, satisfying weekend project that delivers big impact with very little effort.

Perfect for weddings, holiday centerpieces, or just giving your shelfie game a serious upgrade, this DIY milk glass technique proves that high-end style doesn’t have to come with a high-end price.
