Last weekend, I got out the white paint and set to cover up some of the wood in the house. We have beautiful wood floors on the main level, but it has a little bit of a dated feel too it...especially the stairs. So I painted all of the risers and the 2 spindles that were wood. I have plans to come back and paint the railings black, but that's for another day.
Here are the befores from before we moved in:
Progress....it took 4 coats of Behr's paint and primer in one in semi-gloss.
And finished!

The 2 banisters actually took 5 coats....but it was totally worth it.
Such a difference! Much lighter and more modern looking. I can't wait to get the railings painted soon, too!
