It is quite a compact little landing so I struggled to get a complete picture. And on the rare occasions that I do, I’ll just lean over (it doesn’t look that way, but these shelves are very easy to reach from the landing) and get searching for the book I want!Īs well as the staircase, Carpetrightalso fitted carpet and underlay to my landing area. That practicality isn’t even an issue when you hardly get time to read anyway. I know some people aren’t a fan of the books facing this way (because its difficult to see what you are choosing). I’ve built up quite the collection over the years you see. I did think gallery wall for a split second, but I’m a little over gallery walls…. I whipped together some beautiful box shelves from plywood for the wall above the stairs (using this handy clamp). Good thing I can build right (but only simple stuff mind you) Also, good thing my garage is filled with diy materials like wood and other cool stuff… for all the building. It worked out a lot cheaper than doing the whole wall… I had planned to wallpaper half the wall up the stairs as well, but once it came to putting it all up I realised, I had miscalculated all of my measurements and angles. So I decided to hit that checkout button ….silently aware of all the things I would have to go without for the rest of this makeover. Budgets have to to be scraped together right?). As opposed to the usual quick fix cheap carpets we buy whenever we move into a new rental property.Įven with a kind 30% discount that I received from the ladies at Coloray decor, it still took quite a large chunk out of my makeover budget (yes I had a budget, another reason why this makeover too so long. ![]() It feels pretty nice to have a good quality carpet for a change.

The Carpetright staff were great though, from the sales team right down to the actual fitting department. I had to go through lots of perfects before I found the ‘perfect one’. It was a mission, attempting to narrow down my options because there were just so many amazing ranges to choose from. ![]() I say chose so flippantly there, when in reality it was anything but that. I chose a carpet from the Dakota wool range in a twine colour. They said yes, and a few happy AJ fist pumps in the air later, I was off to my local showroom to pick a carpet. With that idea in mind, I reached out to Carpetright and asked if they would like to collaborate with me. I’m jumping the gun a little here – but here’s an after picture. I would paint the risers and carpet the steps (treads) – best of both worlds right? So I made the decision to go back to carpet. Magnificent even!Ĭlearly, I have Pinterest to blame for all my over inflated interior dreams – and subsequent fails as a result. I thought, with a little sanding and stain, I could go au Natural!

I take my time. You know those people who re-design rooms in a few days, weeks, or even a month? (not a rhetorical question by the way- such a person does actually exist) If you’ve been following along with this makeover on my Instagram stories, I salute you – I really do! Your patience, watching me (and the hubby) soldier on for the past four months, is something to be celebrated – truly!
