Updating My Basement Stairs

2/23/2017

Hey guys!!!  In today's blog I will be  showing you the process of updating my  terrible basement stairs. This was a long tedious process. Hopefully my tips will help you to make yours an easier process. I  had so many ideas of how I wanted to update these stairs  but ... I kept it safe and went with white.

I originally wanted to stain the entire stair  case but the wood was not the best even after sanding and removing layer upon layers of paint.  Our house was built in 1955 and  all the caked on paint showed that.

Yikes!!! Here are  my terrible stairs. before.  The outline that you see was were the treads . ​

This paint stripper is  like  magic.  You will need to apply it with a paint brush. DO NOT use a foam brush, the gel will eat through it.

This  is what it looks like once you apply the  gel.  We let this sit for 1 hour.

It  comes off so easily.  I will definitely be using this product for future projects. We did scrub  the stairs down after we  scrapped off the old paint.

This is the After!!!!!!!! So much better. We are not sure if we plan to put the treads back on.   Let me know in the comments below if you have ever considered painting  your stairs.
