So finally this is the staircase makeover reveal, I hope you like it!!! (the occasion calls for three exclamation marks for sure)
And if you do check out the kitchen makeover and dining room reveal in our park house… more rooms to come soon! I’d love to hear what you think!
EDIT * I’ve had a lot of emails asking about the flooring we used.
I posted all about it in the living room floor installation post. Hope that helps!
If you are wondering about the blue artwork in the hall the tutorial to make that is at the link!
I’ve had a LOT of questions about the paint it is Fortress Grey in the Dutchboy line.. I used left over paint that I had from an upstairs bath. I bought the paint at Walmart a few years ago. Here is the label, they accidentally only added enough for a quart the first time, so they did it four times. How is that for confusing… but here you go!

Readers Annie and Scott sent us these photos of their staircase makeover. Here’s what they had to say about it:
Just followed directions, except no wooden spindles, spent a little more $$ and purchased wrought iron, so worth it! Very easy to install, and so elegant looking!
Beautiful transformation, you two! Definitely elegant!
Do you have a project inspired by one of our posts that you’d like to share? We’d love to see it! Let us know here.

where is the tutorial for the newel post
Right here: https://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/08/how-we-built-our-custom-newel-posts-tutorial/ Good luck!
Well, that is just inspirational. I love it all. Where did you get that great 6-compartment wall storage thing? That is just lovely.
Amanda, We designed and built that! But don’t you worry, we posted the free plans so if you ever want to try making it you can! https://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/02/diy-rustic-wall-storage-bins/
Loooooooooove it so much, C!!!!! 🙂
Thank you so much Samantha!
Are you going to post a tutorial soon?????

Anna, if you click on the park house stairs link, it will show you all the posts that we have written on the stairs project. It was such a big project that we had to break it up into many posts. I hope that this will help you see how we did it all.
Seriously you guys, that is AWESOME!! I kept looking at the before pictures thinking HOW in the world is that the same house??? Is this Justin’s new full time job? LOL 🙂 I love the wood floor too cause it looks just like mine (good minds think alike – right?) we choose the engineered wood and it already looks “beat up” so I don’t worry about dog nails and rowdy kids.
Selina, thanks for the comment. Yes, this is my new full time job and I love it!
Love this update! What color is the wall color in entry? Love it! I want to change from the taupe wall color to something more refreshing. Thanks so much! Cindy Lynn
I am crushing hard on that shoe holder. Did you make it? Repurpose it?
Cindy, We designed and built it. If you want to build your own, follow the link here and we tell you all about how to build it, https://www.remodelaholic.com/2012/02/diy-rustic-wall-storage-bins/. Thanks for reading our blog!
Stunning, what a transformation!! Definitely worth all of that hard work!
Beautiful finished project!! What is the wall color? I’m wanting to change from the taupe we have & love this color. 🙂 Cindy
Cindy, sorry for taking so long to get back, but Cassity found the color and added it to the post. Thanks for your patients.
This is really amazing! I absolutely love how you transformed your stairs.
Thanks Lisa!
I saw this on Pinterest and HAD to come check out the entire post!!!! This is incredible! I envy your vision for this space! Way to go! =)
Your staircase looks incredible! I absolutely love it! We’ve been thinking of painting our risers and this definitely helps push me in that direction.
Thank you very much Ashley! We wish you luck with your stairs, too.
GORGEOUS!!! What an amazing transformation! What bluish paint color is on the wall? Its exactly the right balance of neutral/ color that I’m looking for! Love your blog!!

Amy, Cassity was able to add the color to the bottom of the post. Thanks for your comment!
Wow! That is amazing. Great job thanks for sharing it.
I am dying to know the color on the walls. I tried tracking it back as I know you used leftover from bathroom but can’t figure it out. Please let me know.
This is BEYOND amazing. I waaaaant! What paint color do you put on hall walls? What white did you use for stairwell/woodwork? Just stunning…..
How high would you say that shelf is? I have a console table at the front door now but it seems too short. I am 5′ 10″ and my hubby is 6′ 3″…so we like things taller 🙂
Sherry, I can’t totally say! We moved, so i can’t just go measure it, but i am 5’10 too and I had the shelf about waist high. So it was somewhere around 3 feet…. Hope that helps a little bit, sorry I can’t tell you exactly!
Thanks so much! That helps 🙂 I want to make one and add some corbels.
I can’t wait to see what happens.
Love the finished product! How did you guys build the arch? And what all did you do for the moldings throughout the space? I love the big chunky moldings and casings and whatnot!
Lara, I am having Justin work on some tutorials right now. Hopefully we will have it all posted in the next couple weeks! You can check out all we’ve posted on the living room until then! Thanks for letting us know what you’d like to hear more about.
This staircase makeover is more than amazing. You have done a beautiful job and certainly added tremendous value to your home. I am in awe.
You both have a true eye for design and great talent in bringing your ideas to life. I hope you are wonderfully proud of your accomplishments. Wow. What a team!
Janet! Thank you so much for all the wonderful praise! we are so happy we took the time for this project! It took forever, but we are glad it is done!
What a beautiful job! I absolutely love it. Of course I had to show the picture with the kitty in it to my husband, as we have four cats. 🙂
The cats are always hilarious to always find in our photos.
Oh Buddy! I miss him! He was such a beautiful cat, and such a good remodeling helper, he was always RIGHT there!! We now only have one cat, and we love her they are such funny little creatures. I hope I always have one or two!
