I’m loving this DIY. If you only want to see the part about the winder stairs scroll to 9:00. Happy Easter everyone 🐣☀️

Hi Deborah, not wanting to sound like a broken record, but again your talent knows no bounds. The end result is nothing short of absolutely stunning and I only wish I could do this in my own home. Well done as it really is so beautiful and has transformed your entrance to a next level of wow factor. Happy Easter XX

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you Simone, you’re so kind!! I wish I could pop to Oz and we could do it together! Happy Easter lovely xx

[@simonedutch1264]

[@lauragordon8167]

Good lord, you are crazy talented! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Dominolly]

I didn't think this was possible! The finished result is stunning - well done.

[@pamelamcleman9396]

great explanation, and love how the presenter talks normally - not hyped me me me celebrity.

[@Lizwindsor]

So very helpful, thank you! I now know how I’m going to do this! Well done, looks great!

[@susanholding158]

I’m so in awe of your DIY skills. I know I say this every time but never in a million years could I do this. The stairs look lovely. Have a great Easter Sunday 🐣🐥

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you for your lovely comment Susan! Happy Easter to you and your family xx

[@felicitym4368]

Thank you for the level of detail. The camera angles and explaining why is really helpful. I'm about to attempt my first DIY stair runner and your in-depth explanation makes it seem doable!

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you Felicity. Good luck with your project! 💕

[@gigieyre]

This looks so good! Looks like a professional carpet installer did this. You are so talented in the handy man/woman role! I love the rug you chose. Your house is looking fabulous.

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you Gigi and happy Easter ☺️🐣

[@paolabryce9838]

Wow! You are so talented and so kind of you to show such great detail on how to do this. Thank you! I actually only came across your video while looking for info for another you tuber because it's something I've always fancied trying one day myself. So glad I've found your channel! Thank you 😊

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

You’re welcome! Best of luck with your project ☺️

[@christinestyles9074]

Absolutely brilliant. Very informative and in a practical way that we can follow. Thank you.

[@philb3606]

Great work! We did a winder with 5 winding steps with this runner and didn't know about the rug option. We did manage, and it looks good, but wish I'd seen this first! Going to look at your stair rod fitting. Thanks!

[@hannahswann747]

Wow, it looks beautiful! A really helpful video with such clear instructions, thank you so much 🙏

[@gavp99]

Thanks Deborah! I’m literally about to do this exact same thing next week so very glad I’ve found this video! Thankyou!

[@gavp99]

Can I ask did you use the clear double sided carpet tape or the mesh one? Thanks

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

@gavp99 I used double sided clear tape from Screwfix which worked really well ☺️

[@charlescalvert7218]

Great video! I’m attempting the exact same project this weekend! Thanks for sharing

[@shaungoddard2407]

Well done for this, its something that we are planning to do, hope it ;looks as good as yours !!

[@SumBeautyAnnointing]

You did an amazing job, so inspiring thanks for sharing 👌

[@groves8403]

This looks fab! Did you have any issues with the main part of the carpet fraying? Especially at the edges where you’re stapling?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you! No I just made sure I turned the edge over a bit to make sure there were no loose bits. Hope you enjoy your project! ☺️

[@kdee4611]

Well done Deborah, amazing job! 😊

[@tatt2edboy]

Great effort 👍

[@DR-tx8em]

Great video with a fantastic result. Thank you for sharing.

[@MatthewRoberts-m8s]

How long do you need the staples to get through the runner and underlay? Thanks.

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi there, my staples are 15mm but it will depend on how deep your underlay is as it might be thicker. Hope your project goes well 😊

[@meltsinthecity5211]

Love this ❤ you did an amazing job. Where did you get your underlay from please?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you. I reused the underlay from the old carpet ☺️

[@Ev-eq8zn]

About to do this, exact same runner and rods too by coincidence. Just wondering if you really cant see the staples, even coloured? I'm quite ocd about these details. Thanks!

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

I can’t see them. I tried to get them as close as I could to the back of the step so the rod would also cover them. Good luck with your project!!

[@Ev-eq8zn]

​@@LivinganOrganisedLife Thanks! Is the underlay the width of the jute part or the whole width of the runner including border?

[@charlescalvert7218]

Deborah, your video helped me so much! Thank you… I’ve just finished and not gonna lie, I copied you almost exactly lol😂

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

That’s fantastic, I’m so pleased my video helped you. Well done with your project! 😊

[@PaulSinfieldPaulS]

Thank you for your very informative video. Which staple gun did you use please? Thanks

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi, I’m glad it was helpful. I used a Titan nail gun from Screwfix but they don’t sell it anymore. This one is similar and looks better: www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb961nal-30mm-second-fix-electric-nail-gun-240v/909pg?ref=SFAppShare

[@jameswright8985]

Could you point me in the right direction for the rug please? I’ve been struggling to do the turn on my stairs with this exact carpet.

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi James, I used the Dunelm jute herringbone rug with the black border. The link is in the description box under the video and also here: www.dunelm.com/product/herringbone-border-rug-1000194785?defaultSkuId=30849947&colour=Herringbone+Border+Black Good luck with your project ☺️

[@user-gq1zn4hs6r]

Hi Deborah, how did you prepare the wooden side? Did you use a machine to sand and is there any special paint to use? Thanks

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi, I sanded the wood with my palm sander and painted it with white water based satin quick dry paint. I had to fill it in a couple of places but it was pretty good under the carpet ☺️

[@ZacharyKentVT]

I thought the idea of rods was that staples weren't necessary. Am I wrong?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

I think many years ago rods may have had that purpose but nowadays they are purely decorative. The rods I’ve got are not close/tight enough to the carpet to hold it down.

[@lallen1506]

So helpful, thank you!

[@elonah1578]

Hi! I've had this exact project on hold because I'm so intimidated! Please could you share what staple gun you used? Do you think this is doable for a DIY novice?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi there, I’ve got the Screwfix Titan nail gun/stapler gun www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb968nst-15mm-second-fix-electric-nail-gun-stapler-240v/417pg?ref=SFAppShare I definitely think this project is achievable by a novice DIYer. Just have a go and take your time. Best of luck ☺️

[@elonah1578]

Thank you so much 🤍

[@zoeburt1172]

Looks beautiful well done x

[@YasminDesai-s4i]

where did you get the underlay from please, do you have a link?

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Sorry, I reused the existing underlay so I didn’t need to buy more

[@thesweetsmith]

So good!! Thank you its beautiful

[@olgapetrusanu7444]

Where did you buy the staples from please x

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Hi there, the staples came with my nail gun. I had plenty for this project ☺️

[@olgapetrusanu7444]

Sorry , wanted to ask where is the gun from and said staples my fault x

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

@olgapetrusanu7444 I got mine from Screwfix, the Titan range. They’ve changed the range of staplers now but here’s a link to a similar one: www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb961nal-30mm-second-fix-electric-nail-gun-240v/909pg?ref=SFAppShare

Thank you so much 💓

CIAO BELLISSIMO VIDEO, AUGURI BUONA PASQUA ♥️😁👍

[@saralawrence3975]

Looks lovely can I ask what paint you used? X

[@LivinganOrganisedLife]

Thank you!! ☺️ I used Screwfix satin white paint for the wood work: www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjs5si-xqOFAxXMiVAGHSwCDEYYABAJGgJkZw&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2a6wBhCVARIsABPeH1vDhMp_m1CJoLIB6xr3DHcNL_w6rhiPNNE3c2LCL8_RVI-Pz7H5FvoaArpnEALw_wcB&sph=&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESeOD2D8YVBHWfmqltKwt6qZyQA_uA872DFyYERIsnSNOGC0AgDxTtCMCeJ3zTwzLCHdBeFdJI4NkZqekp53ZTVceK-PDmbsXfTDmY1-ewHGt-HRIIbgpFGuF0yOBzYOHkPGxNZ4LKar5OJt8mOn80Z-EqTvWxikMTXg&sig=AOD64_2NA88nbX5hUouAjzOFqAMABcfztw&ctype=70&q=&ved=2ahUKEwj4pMK-xqOFAxXLUUEAHeYBA1AQwg8oAHoECAQQLA&nis=8&adurl=
