Helpful tip: Prime those dark colored stairs with a cheap primer. Then you would have only needed a coat or 2 of the expensive paint to cover the surface.

I know this is an old video but I am doing this to my basement stairs and your video was perfect. Thank you!

[@diylilyardor3435]

I love how these look!! AHHHMAAZING! So much work but totally worth it

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks so much, Lily!!!

[@Iyabeji1975]

Great job, it looks really nice. I'm in the process of doing my stairs too, I can't wait for the end result.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks so much, Caroline! The process is so frustrating but it's so worth it! What design are you doing on your stairs?

[@mallymakings2853]

This is fantastic and yes, very inspiring. Can I just take a moment to say your little helper is the most beautiful, precious Angel. Those eyes though. Such a cutie pie. Thank You so much for sharing.... love to you from England. xxx

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you so much Laura!!!

[@rebeccajungic6022]

This looks so beautiful. I’ve just spent the last week doing this exact same thing (our stairs used to have horrible 25 year old carpet on them). It’s been a huge task but I finally get to remove the masking tape this evening after applying a clear gloss layer today. I’m so excited! I’m only watching your video now. Your way looks much easier than how I did it. I masked so much before painting black. Your final result is gorgeous!! Great job beautiful lady 💕

[@SimplyHandmade]

thank you so much!!!

[@andreaelliott2618]

Hi Ms. Jungic. After seeing this video, I painted my stairs with the same paint. They look wonderful. For some odd reason they collect dust and debris quicker now, which I hate it. Are your stairs slippery with the clear gloss? If not, what brand did you use.

[@NITO43]

Doing this to my stairs this weekend from carpet to wood. Nice job 👍🏼

[@munnanawaz4668]

black& white classic.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Yes! so timeless!

[@andreaelliott2618]

Great job Simply Handmade!!!!!

[@lutherjohnson8205]

Great DIY video! I have been inspired and plan on painting my beat-up hardwood stairs next week.

[@SimplyHandmade]

That is awesome! Tell me how it goes :D

[@nikkicolburn8597]

I watched this video before I bought my first home, I finally bought my first home and I am back to refresh my memory on your awesome tips!!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Hey Nikki! CONGRATS on your first home!! I'm so glad you found this video helpful!! :D Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you have any!

[@kandacekingsbury]

My husband and I are planning to do this to our stairs! this was extremely helpful, thanks girl!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@getergranados1966]

I’m doing this project 3 years later.. very beneficial! Thank you!

[@blaq7892]

Sister if you paint more invest in a quality roller and small pale for cutting in. Small angled brush and technique. Looks great . Do you think a coat of poly would help wear.

[@clovetea]

So beautiful and inspiring! We're going to do our stairs like this. Could you please list the paint color names and brand you used? Thank you

[@bishonnacolbert6802]

That every other stair tip just saved us!!! Thank you sooo much💕

[@pjsum23]

Looks great,thank you for the advice!

[@stevenj1682]

That’s the difference between a professional painter. and a home owner do it yourself , your lines doesn’t looks straight and clean

[@lashun1st]

You did a great job!!! I'm going to imitate you and do the same!!

[@meganjohnson2223]

How many gallons did you have to use? Of both paints

[@donnadonna-carter7615]

I just painted a concrete floor black with the same type of paint but for concrete too. Came out beautiful. I have stairs that I need to do and since you used the same paint that I have I'm trying this too. Great job.. Love the look...

[@SimplyHandmade]

Yes it's for stairs and concrete!! Thank you!

[@tracystaedter1976]

Nice job! Love it. I’m doing the back hallway in our two-family apartment. Loved your tips. I’m adding a stencil pattern to risers.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Sounds like a lovely idea with the risers!!

[@teresamance8381]

Turn ur nice a lot of stairs and a lot of work

[@tara8475]

What kind of paint did you use for the stairs?

[@joeschmo1516]

Great job. Thanks for the info 👍

[@proagnes988]

Tou didnt have to sand the stairs??

[@clovetea]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@fashionbigboi]

I like them but I honestly think u should of sanded down the stairs to get rid of the old paint cu can tell there is multiple layers but over all good job

[@SimplyHandmade]

yes!! i wish i sanded down more, too!

[@CraigsOverijse]

Fantastic explanation and look awesome after, you did a great job and great to see you getting the family in on the job, but you may have found a small roller easier than a brush

[@SimplyHandmade]

I can totally agree on that one a roller would have been better! Thanks :D

[@silliaek]

@@SimplyHandmade On the other hand you will get some splatter with a roller. I like the edger tool idea for the steps.

[@carlamckinney3416]

So doing this. Thank you

[@nicoleloether4448]

LOVE THIS! Great job

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thank you Nicole!!!

[@janettedewar6617]

I preferred the brown

[@maxxandme2ryan14]

You need to use painter's tape and prep first and use gloves please

[@SimplyHandmade]

yes safety first!

[@kathy110962]

I am about to do this and I wasn’t sure about the black and white. My home is an old house so I have the same issues with the uneven spots on the stairs. I absolutely love it great job! Thank you I feel better about doing it now!! Very clever doing every other step so you can still utilize the stairs why all the paint is drying!! 👍🏻

[@chibiinyourchan]

Hopefully I can redecorate my room. I’d love that

[@SimplyHandmade]

YOU can dooooo ittt!!!!

[@roshawnsmith-champion6808]

I wanted to stain my stairs but you just made me want to paint them! I’m having a hard time getting all the glue off the stairs.

[@Ajh747]

Nice job lady, now my stairs are cover with carpet and I hate cause it just get dirty easily, so what advice you have for me as far as changing it or covering it with something much efficient and stain free?

[@alandenorame9253]

Good job babe

[@melissameador215]

Thank you so much for this. It is exactly what I needed to encourage me. That I can do it too !!!!

[@pNo415]

Well done!

[@mavadojones7910]

Respect ,

[@robsonval6353]

Thanks!!

[@AleZ66]

Thanks for the motivation! They look really good!

[@Popea0128]

Why didn’t you use primer?

[@SimplyHandmade]

I definitely should have! There are some chips.. not too bad.. but with a good primer I feel like it would have no chips!

[@tiawannahomer1420]

I love it

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks ,Tia!

[@mprice11085]

Currently doing the same makeover kitchen countertops with epoxy and bathroom paint replaced vanity toilet and flooring

[@SimplyHandmade]

That is awesome!

[@nobodymajor215]

Doing some dusty basement steps, cat scratched the beams also. will also add slip strips on them because I do laundry down there , don't want to take a fall on new steps lol. Good job on yours, will be patching cracks with quick crete on the walls FIRST then DRY LOCKING them. Then, I will paint. That way the walls going down will be done and complete, wish me luck, stay safe .

[@SimplyHandmade]

good luck!!!

[@271SROGERS]

Omg my contractor just told me to get this paint for our basement stairs. He said they use it for rental property because it’s thicker! Can’t wait to start this project.

[@SimplyHandmade]

it's so durable!!!

[@13salinaspride]

Are your stairs slippery?

[@SimplyHandmade]

no, they're not. :)

[@NiaNicole]

What a transformation! It really brightens up the space!!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Thanks, Nia! It totally brightened up the space 100%!!

[@elizabadd13]

I love it I hope my mom doesn’t it . Ours look jus like ur before stairs lol n she painted them gray but I sent her this I hope she sees it and decides to do it

[@SimplyHandmade]

I hope she said yes!

[@VazPiink]

I've watched so many complicated videos and been put off. So far the best! Thank you! did you need to use any wood filler before painting?

[@SimplyHandmade]

No need for wood filler since nothing needed to be patched. :) So glad you found this! it's not terrible to do at all!

[@rainbowyellow7348]

this is the easiest way to remodel stairs. But mine need much more. They have some holes and are uneaven on the surface. But a little holes filler and sander will help I hope. I just have to wait until walls are done and then I step into action! I can not wait and I am so excited!

[@SimplyHandmade]

I hope it came out amazing!!!!

[@maryholmes2363]

I love this I’m going to do it to my stairs

[@davidditman8206]

Wonderful job! Really good idea to use the porch paint because of being a high traffic area! I also love the tip to paint every other stair but the put tape on the stairs you can step on when doing the others. Especially with children!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Findingmyvoice120]

I’m in the process of doing my stairs, what color stain did you use? Did you use a poly over the black?

[@SimplyHandmade]

No stain just the porch paint!!

[@me9860]

Gorgeous! May God bless you!!!

[@SamuelVOWilliams]

My wife and I are planning to paint out stair steps and top railing after we get our new floors in. This was definitely helpful.

[@SimplyHandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@IllwrightMusic]

Great work!! Doing mine right now. Same busted up style stairs! Ha

[@SimplyHandmade]

Good luck!

[@dalliepool550]

Hi I'm going to do that this week, could you tell me what kind of black paint you used? Or was it gloss?

[@SimplyHandmade]

It's porch paint! Specifically made for high traffic areas

[@Epicmodernfishing]

Looking great, I painted the steps first & taped the steps then painted the side wall faster that way.

[@janniehayes8881]

How is that faster?

[@kima.emmons9023]

Looks Beautiful! I'm sanding and prepping for paint!

[@SimplyHandmade]

Good luck!

[@alexandrapanetta392]

Hey thanks for the helpful video! im planning to do this exact paint design to my staircase also. did u sand your stairs with sand paper ? and what was that tool you used to paint your stairs ?

[@SimplyHandmade]

Yay! Glad I could help. I sanded them down, yes and I used an edger (I think that's what it's called!) - it's a few bucks in the paint section of any hardware store!!

[@Triceydoesit]

I love this!!!! Doing it this weekend ❤️

[@comoelitamelendez8467]

Me too! Plan to paint them a nice blue color :)

Sooo satisfying to watch! And helpful thank you

[@SimplyHandmade]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kara_MyWord]

Very good job!!

[@ReeseNYC]

No primer needed? How did it hold up? I want this so bad

[@SimplyHandmade]

i do wish i took more time to sand, otherwise the stairs are actually holding up very well! minimal scratches !

[@mariazahedi7444]

Hey I got the same paint from the home depot. I also got some grit stuff to put with it so it wouldn't be so slippery. I got the darkest black too. I didn't even think about using the edger. I watched your video to make sure I sanded my stairs properly. Thank you so much.

[@SimplyHandmade]

I hope it came out amazing!!

[@mariazahedi7444]

Ok I know old video but I just ran across it since we’re doing home repairs now lol. Did you say your sons name was pronounced E from. Do you happen to spell it Ephraim? Our son is Ephraim and we pronounce it F rum.

hahahah yes! same spelling, different pronunciation !! I don't meet many Ephraims - it's such an old name :)

How are the stairs paint holding up after a year?

[@SimplyHandmade]

some scuffs because I didn't sand as much as I should but still going strong!!!

[@zackford8467]

Halfway through doing my stairs before watching this video. Really just came here for some different ideas and I really like the tool you used on the stair top itself. I’m probably going to end up using a roller and cutting the edges once I tape off the wall but I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future !

[@SimplyHandmade]

Either way works beautifully!! Glad you found the video helpful!

[@jacklyn1527]

[@littlebitnj78]

Will it be durable with all the use it’s going to get? Will you need some sort of finisher on top?

[@SimplyHandmade]

Yep! :) I got the porch/patio paint since those surfaces are expected to take a beating so I figured it would go great on the stairs. Instructions says to just scuff and add the paint so no real need for a finisher. I'm going to let it sit for a little bit. maybe a week or 2 since it does take some time to set. If I feel it needs a coat I'll definitely be updating the blog post to let you guys know :)
