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.

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
