I needed something to do. Something to occupy my time. I grabbed the small can of paint that has been sitting in the corner of my kitchen just waiting to be used up. I grabbed the can of paint and went to my staircase, I have started this before and ended up just doing a couple of spindles and the bottom baluster. My paint is white and it was always a white staircase so it doesn't really show where I started & stopped, yet...
I started and then said I am going to take a break with a cup of coffee and check on pinterest & see what information they had. Colors, bright & bold colors. OK, just what I was searching for. Check out the statement on this staircase.
Here is the link, hope it works and if it doesn't I figured the picture would give you the idea of making a statement with your staircase.

My search showed me walls & ceilings and spindals all painted in so many different ways than the basic black and white. Sometimes things changes and when your personal tastes lean to bold color choices, exciting, color combinations, what you are doing is adding a little of your personality to the staircase. I also took some time and looked through a paint chip deck and choose a few cards that would give me a broad range of similar colors. So, I think I am going to paint the banister the darkest tone and then apply the remaining colors to the spindles, one color each, wow what a statement that would make, right?

After all of that, I still think I am going to stick with the white spinals and leave my natural wood on the rail and top of the baluster. What would you do? Would you go for the bold & colorful or the basic black & white?
Well this is it! I found a picture that looks like my staircase (almost). I think for now I better stay with the safest and perhaps when I am feeling a bit daring and need something different going on, that is when I will apply my real personality to my staircase to heaven!
