How to easily transform your stairs wow did this weekend fly by.
Transforming carpeted stairs into wood.
Get that carpet off and your halfway there.
This is the best product for hiding wood grain fyi.
Our main goal was to rip off the carpet see what wood was underneath and.
Follow the instructions on dry time.
If the wood underneath is not desireable got to a lumberyard and see what you can get milled down into 3 8 stock in the desired depth and surround the tread.
Stain seal as needed and your done.
If there were existing hardwoods underneath the carpet sand them before re staining.
Finally i used benjamin moore advance paint in white to paint the risers also using a foam roller.
My husband and i recently tore the carpet from our stairs and painted the wood underneath creating a fresh clean and modern look.
This is our stairs before.
First i primed then with zinnser bin shellac.
Use a foam brush to apply the stain and wipe with a lint free cloth.
The look you want is easily achieveable if you are handy.
My husband and i got to enjoy a nice dinner and evening alone for our anniversary thanks mom and dad for keeping the kids overnight we took the kids swimming 4 wheeling in the woods and i busted my butt removing carpet and refinishing the basement stairs.
Sand the wood using multiple grit sandpaper.
From carpet to hardwood.
Remove the carpet from the stairs.
Once it dries apply two coats of clear coat.
The carpet was old and dirty giving the entry a very dark and dated feel.
Using a varnish stripper remove the top coat from the stair treads.
Fill in any holes in the wood with wood filler.
