lalicopaSince we moved in here, there have been a few things I didn't love about the house. The stairs were one of them. They are the typical finished wood on top and white risers, on each riser, there were wooden medallions glued on and painted the same color. The risers were all scuffed and it was impossible to get the scuffs off. On the tops of each steps was a piece of carpet made for steps, I never liked the color or pattern, but they were there so I left them.
About 2 weeks ago, at the same time, 4 of the little rug things peeled off the steps. I ended up pulling them all off, taking off all the tape and scrubbing off the glue residue. They looked nice, but our house is horrible with noise and I didn't want to make any more surfaces for sound to bounce off of. Plus the scuffs were still there.
I always wanted leopard carpet. We were going to do it in our apartment, but I ended up mosaic tiling the risers instead.
I finally decided that we're gonna put leopard carpet on the steps and on the landing upstairs. We have no carpet as of now, except in the basement.
It's almost done. And I even talked the guy into making me a little rug with the leftover carpet. He's got this super cool seaming machine that's like a super strong sewing machine.
Pics to follow, of course...but I'm so excited. I didn't get to really put any of my own touches on this house because it was 100% finished when we bought it. That was a great thing, and I love it, but it lacked that certain Jen style. :-)
