And then I have done a million posts on my actual staircases.Īnd I still have a few more to go blog posts on this area to go.
TILED STAIRS HOW TO
Don’t look too close, obvs but hey, my stairs looks pretty freaking awesome.ĭon’t forget to watch my youtube video which shows you how to actually tile them in detail. Mosaics means no cutting (woop) but it means they show every lump and bump – and my stairs are very lumpy and bumpy! I’m not a perfectionist, I just like things done so for me I was happy.ĭo you know what – considering I have tiled nothing before in my life. Went to my local tiling shop with a photo of what I wanted to do and I just did it. Honestly? I watched a ton of DIY youtube videos. I had to don my rubber gloves and do it myself. I so badly wanted to get in a tiler to do the stairs but not one single guy I called would do it. I wanted to use them to tile the risers of my stairs which I had seen all over Pinterest. Tiling the stairsĪfter doing a video for Tile Giant, I fell in love with the Vintage White Mosaic tiles (£25.35 a sheet).
Try Engelbert Strauss who stock pretty much everything you need for a home DIY project on-line. It worked out cheaper too – with some of the brushes only costing £1 each. Instead, to get the job done in a weekend, I pre-ordered all my paint brushes, masking tape, dust sheets and working gloves on-line the week before. My Tip: Don’t wasting time going back and forth to DIY stores (I seem to loose hours in them). It’s an old-school kind of grey – very battleship but it really works in my home (cos everything is grey). I used the same top coat of paint as the woodwork in my open-plan living room so everything matched – Scree by Little Greene Paint Company.
It’s tough as hell and the finish with your top coat is crisp and enduring. I’m going to give a shout out to Farrow & Ball mid-tones floor primer. And one in a shade that works with your top coat. In high traffic areas, like a staircase please for-the-love-of-god use a good floor paint primer. My tip: paint every other step – then you can nip up and down them while they dry.
Now, what they don’t tell you is that when you paint your stairs is how to get up and down them. Or is he thinking what she done now? Tips on painting your stairs I had no finger nails left after I was done scrubbing. That green stuff still haunts me in my nightmares. None of us can forget the day I decided to rip up the carpet to reveal the wood. I still had my disguising natural seagrass carpet. Let’s all give my new hand rail a big wave! I’ve swapped the orange pine floorboards for engineered oak floorboards from here. We’ve said bye bye to the ugly radiator for a new-but-looks-old one from here. I know, as I fell down it one night and smashed my coccyx slipping down these mothers.Ī year down the line – February 2017 – and yes this is all looking better. Here’s what I was faced with on moving in day back in Feb 2016. I’ve invested so much time and love into this area of my home. Finally, after a year and half of solid work it is nearly finished (well nearly, nearly). Followers of my blog would have heard of my staircase woes.
