We've had this slippery, dangerous, (and ugly!) golden oak staircase in our house since moving in nearly 10 years ago. Installing a stair runner is something I always wanted to do but never had time. All it takes it one slip, though....! I decided to find some inexpensive, yet cute modern stair runners to install. I also painted the stairs white for a fresh look! I absolutely love it! I'm still not sure about how (or IF!) I want to paint the balusters. What do YOU think? Paint them or leave them natural?
A big thanks to Arrow Fastener for sponsoring this project! Be sure to check out their awesome tools and tell them Thrift Diving sent you!

Do you think paint the bluster blue, is to much? Or maybe a tint of a darker color of wood?
Love it.... in Puerto Rico everything is in concrete and is not that easy to install anything, even to hang a picture on the wall we need a lot of things... God Bless...
@thriftdiving where did you get the rug pad from? I am sorry I did not see it in the list in the description.
The stairs just needed refinishing. Although the reno looks nice, I prefer the wood to the paint.
Me too. I can't believe people that paint over nice wood.
Yes, believe it! As much as I love and appreciate wood, I do know that sometimes a nice coat over it changes the whole entire thing. That's what I was going for. Don't worry, I have a bunch of other projects where I didn't paint over the wood! Hopefully you'll keep watching and subscribe if you're not already a subscriber!! :)
This color of wood is very outdated, though. And to change the color of the wood when my house has this same golden oak wouldn't have matched well. So the best option was to paint it. Thanks for watching, though! I appreciate it!
Thrift Diving. Yes I have been a subscriber for years now! I love most everything else you have done too! I will keep watching!
Me too. And I'd stain them dark. But I have painted PLENTY of wood, and stairs are probably about the only place I would go dark. I also would have painted the entire stair for the next homeowner.
My dad painted himself into our badement before lol he painted down the basement stairs instead of ground up lol
I saw where someone painted every other stair tread so they could get out of their basement. Of course she finished all the treads.
Awe, it happens!
The fact that the entire stair isn't painted freaks out my OCD.
Oh no, I suffer a little with that as well everything has to be in line cans, towels, bottles everything else can be a mess but if I see cans facing every which way no matter if im at home or in someine elses home I need to fix it, lol!
Lol
You're a woman after my own heart. Don't buy me flowers, give me a gift card to the hardware store. LOVE IT!💜
Superwoman back at it again.
This looks amazing, really stylish 💖
Looks so good! Well done!
I really wanted to do something like this in my house but I have two sets of stairs and they both are windy so I had to hire professionals to do it for us. I painted the stairs myself but they installed the carpet runner. It cost £1000 (UK) so very expensive but I love how it looks and as you say it's safe, no one slipping on the stairs.
So beautiful, it really looks wonderful.
Thank you for this, Serena! I fell in my staircase recently, unfortunately head first so loss of consciousness upon impact after 15 steps, brain bleed, traumatic brain injury and 3 days in the Intensive Care Unit. My staircase looks very similar to your 'before' one. Need to install a stair runner asap. So thanks for the great tutorial. Guys, be careful out there on slippery stairs... It's no joke.
OMG, I'm sorry to hear that you hurt yourself so badly! I'm glad that you shared this with us because it really is a dangerous thing having a set of bare stairs with no traction. Even if people just put tread runners on there, it helps with keeping your footing. I hope you're okay after the TBI!! Hopefully no headaches or memory loss!
get a decent machine made wool stair runner , use the rods to attach the rug, you need about 24 feet of runner for 13 stairs
@Lucas G McLiberal a real stair runner looks really good, much better than stair treads
@Lucas G McLiberal I don't know, a karastan stair runner would be beautiful , pricey but beautiful
OMG! Hope you're ok!
Very innovative; crisp, clean and modern! Love it!!!
Beautiful!!
Wow, what a difference❤️
Excellent job I love the stair runners you selected. I was thrilled at the price!! Looks so good!! Thanks, Gigi
Turned out beautifully! Great job. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you, Darnia!
What a terrific-looking and effective fix to your stairs situation. Well done!
Looks fantastic!
So helpful!!
I have to do this to our basement stairs, so thanks!! 😘
You are amazing, Serena! Everything you do is so beautiful! So inspirational!
Amazing job! That rug looks so good!
Thank so so much for this video I love how you explain everything step by step for beginners like me
Looks awesome!
How gorgeous!
OMG I LOVE THIS! I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO GIRL! JUST BEAUTIFUL & FUN!
Great job. Love this.
Beautiful!! Love that rug!
Stunning! What a difference and cheap too.
It looks awesome! You did a great job!!
This looks awesome!
It’s looks way much better!! I love it😍😍👌❤️
Looks, great, Serena! Stair remodel may be in my near future, so it is inspiring to see how you've tackled it!
Thank you for this! I am definitely using these tips to fix up the stairs to the second storey of my house.
Look beautiful!
Thank you, it's lovely, must do that soon to my stairs.
Gorgeous...
Looks beautiful!!!
Thank you!!!
What a beautiful project! Loved seeing it and praying I’ve learned a thing or two.
The trend is ditching carpet for wood floors. Most newer wood floors are not solid wood, only wood laminate. Your stairs are likely solid wood. The problem is with so much wood, emergency rooms are seeing more injuries. Children and if course, older people are having serious injuries falling on hard floors. I would have put new paint on the side trim, refinished the wood and then put the runner on. My parents and grandparents had brass bars in place that held the runner in place. Trends change so do it to your taste. When refinishing or painting, do every other stair so they would still be usable.
A thing I learned about caulking is to push the caulk rather then pull it it you will have less filling to do.
Yep, I do try to push it inside and then smooth while pushing it in. It does work!
Beautiful!
It looks wonderful!!
You did such a great job! Love it!!
Looking great!!!! I wanted to paint our steps and then on the riser put words like, Live, Love, Laugh, etc. But didn't before we moved.
Looks great 👍
This is a terrific-looking & nicely recorded project Serena!! I love you showing us the Prep work: sanding & filling gaps, and esp. Changing the ugly, old stair brackets to nice, Sturdy new ones❣️
I would like to see the balusters painted white - it will look finished then
Beautiful
I pulled mauve shag carpeting off of my stairs and underneath was beautiful (worn and nail holes) wood. I filled holes, sanded and refreshed the wood stain. I also didn't have the time or expertise to install a runner, so we hired a professional to install a beautiful runner and it turned out incredible. Our home is a craftsman-style and the wood throughout the house is part of what a craftsman is. Your stair work is an improvement and I agree, those stairs looked dangerous.
I hated that you painted over the oak flooring. It turned out so so nice. I love the finished product . You did a really good job❣👏💖
I'm okay with painting over the oak because it was the wrong color and so outdated. It's just paint, though! And it livens up the foyer! :) Glad you like it, though!
@@ThriftDiving I was ok with you painting the oak too after I saw the finished product. It made it look so bright and new.
Very nice. Thank you.
Super job!! Very nice!!
Wow! Terrific job!
Looks so much better! I’m going to do the same thanks
Looove the rugs x

Flawless! Excellent DIY.
You did a beautiful job on the stairs. The color was great. Everything look so nice and clean.
Just in time! Thank you for your great video...you are so inspiring! This is on my list to do now.
Great make over
Very beautiful, you have done a great job
Wonderful tutorial! I now have the courage to try my hand at tackling my stairs!
Soo beautiful! You gave me such good ideas on how to do this! You saved me a ton of money!
I really like what you did so much. Everyone has their own opinion on your renovation, but it's your home and you need to enjoy it. A few year's ago we installed a ironing board into our bedroom wall, because our house is a 1925 craftsman, those are details that were in those types of houses, well our realtor, told us we need to paint the wood, or remove it because Oak colored wood is out dated, well I'm going to leave it for the new owners to decide I hope they leave it and appreciate the hard work we have done to make this craftsman house, what it is with all the mission styles and built ins.
Our stairs have good ol' 70's shag carpet on them. LOL It's a project. To get done eventually. One room at a time and we will get this old house there.. People keep telling me (like in the comments here) what about the next homeowner? I don't really care, honestly. I want to make my family safe and comfortable, and if this 115 year old home lasts past us, then the next people can worry about it. lol Thanks for the idea and the how-to.. now to pitch it to hubby.
that turned out great
Great job. It´s looking wonderful. I would also paint the banister.
This came out amazing 🥰
Nice job!
Looks great 😀❤️
makes me almost wish i
had a 2 story house!
God bless
This looks so good! A very informative video, thank you!
You’re hired!!! Love how u do everything the right way and take no shortcuts. It shows great work hun :)
Damn that looks stunning!!
Look so good ! Love the rug !! You should paint the railing white too it would look even cleaner !
AWESOME
Wow that looks amazing! I've been wondering what to do with my stairs as my hubby and I ripped the old carpet up years ago, but never replaced it! I may give this a try sometime because it looks so awesome!
You doing a great work keep on doing it.
Looks amazing!!
Thank You, good information
That's so pretty
I like the stairs. You did a wonderful job. I also like the railing natural wood because it gives depth and separation to you staircase. Nice job!
Just discovered the channel, you're my new favourite crafty D.I.Y person! Love the content.
Great job 🔥
Okay the last couple of projects are the same projects I have to do to my house. I have stairs going to basement that previous owners also pulled carpet up. Daughter suggested I paint and do a runner but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to and had the same questions as you. You just gave me the confidence to go ahead and do it. Also I already have the same stapler so I’m gonna put it back to work. Love the rug choice!
I love it!! I would 100% paint the hand rail white too though. It sticks out like a sore thumb! Otherwise, great job!
This looks beautiful! Great job, love from Sydney, Australia Xxo
Looks fabulous! You did a super job:)
Good job, looks professional. 👍
That is gorgeous!!! 100% improvement!!! Love it!!! Paint the ballasted.. IMO..
