Well, I painted the risers on my stairs and I love how its turning out.
I'm not done because its hard to see but there are about a million nail holes I need to fill that weren't so visible with the stained finish. I will have to fill them with putty. Also, the paint I'm using (which shall remain nameless) is a brand I've always used but I've been having coverage problems with lately. I think I'm going to have to buy a different brand because after primer and 3 coats of paint, I'm still not getting great coverage. I only wish I had wooden spindles so that I could paint those too! I'm also eyeing the rail to paint, but I will resist temptation and leave it stained.

Here is how it looked before.
I'm off to visit the 'rents in DE for the weekend. I'm hoping to take my girls to the beach for some fun in the sand and maybe we'll squeeze in some treasure hunting if there's time.
Have a good weekend!
