VLOG - THE STAIRS ARE FINISHED + DISNEY AFTERNOON TEA | LUCY WOOD

[@pattybaker8064]

The fact that you did this so by yourself is seriously impressive!! They look gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the runner!!

[@daisytravels9406]

Looks lovely Lucy as everything you do. Just an observation why don’t you paint the handrail in the same varnish and then it will look 10/10…

[@mrsmcsbooks2642]

Was about to suggest this,

[@hannaamy6653]

Was just gonna comment exactly the same thing!

[@NaomiVictorias]

Never thought id be as invested in a staircase as i have been with this one hehe

[@senaaileigh]

The stairs look amazing! 😍 I thought I’d share my painting tips as the child of chronic renovators who has been roped into painting more walls than she can count: 1) Never skimp on your painter’s tape. You really get what you pay for. 2) Always peel off your tape BEFORE the paint is dry, that way you don’t get any flakes stuck and being ripped off your freshly painted wall. 3) ALWAYS keep a damp cloth nearby. That way, if you spill a glob of paint on something you weren’t supposed to, you can just quickly swipe it off. Congratulations on finishing such a mammoth job, Lucy! What an amazing achievement! ❤️

[@Amber-oc5qr]

Stairs look so fab!! Love the natural wood tones you have gone for in the house, with a cute retro vibe thrown into the mix!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahhh cheers! That’s really lovely of ya 🤩

[@ohheyniki]

This could not have come at a better time. I’m recovering from an emergency life saving surgery I had to have the other day and I’ve been just having the worst time. Watching this was the first time I wasn’t crying from pain. Thank you ❤️

[@LucyJaneWood]

Im so sorry to hear you’ve been through that! Hope you’re doing okay now, thinking of you xx

[@hannahgraceblack]

OMG I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced this with painters tape! So annoying 😞 The stairs look amazing Lucy, well done! 👏🏻 😍

[@LucyJaneWood]

It’s the worst!! It made me feel like a total dumbo but it seems to be a common life fail haha x

[@justathumb]

haha awww when i was watching the taping montage i was thinking "don't trust it lucyyyy" 😭 marvellous save though 🤩

[@Ddrhl]

@@LucyJaneWood Frog Tape. Has a special coating to reduce bleeding. ;^)

[@ForJazz926]

When you say that you don’t know how this happened, and how it is that you get to do these cool things, I want to raise my hand in class and say I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW! It’s because you are delightful and relatable and absolutely adorable.

[@ladyicondraco]

It was so fun to watch your afternoon tea and hear your critique! I love that you were honest about the desserts. The stairs look wonderful!

[@thirdoctoberchild]

The stairs look AMAZING!! I felt a physical pain in my stomach when you said the paint had seeped under all the tape.. I am having a very 1 step forward, 10 giant strides back time with my work at the moment but seeing your glowing pride and joy at the end of this really made me look forward to the feeling when I finally get to the end of my metaphorical staircase (hopefully, one day..)! Also loving the symbolism of you telling us you were done from the top of the staircase

[@ThatGirlAmanda2525]

The stairs look amazing Lucy great job.

[@LucyJaneWood]

Cheers my dear!

[@irishbogger20]

Oh Lucy you are just exactly what every 20 something/30 something needs in their life because you keep it real! 👏🏻 my heart went out to you about the paint seeping through, and I don’t blame you at all for being upset!! But you should be so proud you’ve done a Trojan job 🥳

[@madisonestrella]

the only person who's videos as soon as i see i have to stop everything and watch! such a warm and bright personality that you have literally got me interested in paint (on your stairs) drying 😂

[@BookwormCalida]

They look fantastic! What a testement to your resilience. Gorgeous!

[@MissTwilightHater]

I love how much effort you put into things, nothing is half arsed. Well done, they look sensational!

[@Ddrhl]

Stairs so lovely,,,no carpet required! Did a Disney princess tea accompanied by prerelease screening of Princess Diaries when my daughter was young. It was in Hollywood, and, yes, we felt very special...and lucky!

[@betsycorcoran8638]

You have no idea how much I needed your wholesome stair content today. My morning was making out to be pretty miserable and your video popped up on my notifications and i almost cried😭. Thank you❤️

[@sugarfairieprincess]

The stairs are gorgeous!!!! I am so glad you made the decision to strip them. They are amazing and I can't wait to see the runner.

[@leafyswords]

I felt for you when I saw the white on the stair 😭, rule #1 is always put down drop cloths/plastic/fabric anything because the worst will happen lol! At least in my case, I’m so accident prone. They came out lovely in the end though, so proud of you!

[@lucymain21]

The stairs look really amazing, Lucy! I can't believe they said it couldn't be done!! I bet you're glad you gave it a go ☺️

[@janemahan2663]

As a Brit living in the US, I enjoyed this so much Lucy! You did SO well on the stairs, such patience....

[@josephfrancis143]

Coming home from groceries , first thing my wife and I do is make u fresh cup of tea+ stairs update😂 life in your thirties amiright

[@beancarjac]

You did such a great job! They look amazing. I’m so emotionally invested I these stairs now - my heart sank when you were talking about the paint bleeding . So glad you were able to fix it ☺️💜

[@Kelsbels15]

I think the stairs look fab, the colour looks great and even though it’s darker than you expected it probably was the best choice to even out the tones on them. Excellent job Lucy! X

[@catalinamc9933]

The stairs look absoloutly fabulous!! You should feel so proud of yourself! What an incredibily massive job! Well done! And I find it odd how much I have truly loved and enjoyed watching the transition. 🥂🍾 well done it looks amazing

[@smilenantiangoscia]

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I almost felt like crying when you were saying about the paint going through the tape, I could just feel the desperation of working so hard on something and things going wrong! If it had been me, I genuinely would have just curled in a ball, cried and given up forever, but you managed to fix it and you persevered throughout this massive difficult job that decorators told you to not even attempt, and look how gorgeous those stairs look now 😭 this is the most inspirational shit ever!

[@laurajean470]

Never been so invested in a set of stairs before and I’m here for it 😂 they look lush! Can’t wait to see the runner!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Hahaha I really appreciate the investment x

[@laurajean470]

@@LucyJaneWood anytime! You’ve done a fab job X

[@febeschoemaker8571]

I honestly almost cried for you when you said the tape didn't work. Been there and it is devastating 😭😭

[@Snugglecher]

The whiskey color seems like a mix between the 2 that you liked. I love it. It's beautiful! Also, those desserts looked so good, but I doubt I could eat them. I have a weird food allergy that makes life as a person that loves food very disappointing. Anyway, I got to say that not seeing Adam in the vlogs now feels very weird, even though he was hardly in them before. So much love to you Lucy! I love the positivity, the perseverance, & the appreciation of the big &small things. The stairs are gorgeous! Great job!!

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

Only a few minutes in but loving “coming along” for the tea experience! I paused on the menu to read all of the details 😍

[@zoeb6778]

Stairs look SO GOOD!!! So much hard work!! You will always remember how much work they were and YOU did it all!!

[@catalinatelemedicina6686]

I love your sense of humor, started following you around 2017 when I was doing my masters at Glasgow, keep having a good time. Greetings from Mexico

[@bethlayton7496]

For future reference you can get paintable caulking and it fills the gap between the stairs and skirting.

[@scottycaplan8122]

What a hard work you've put in this project !!! You've been so brave and so determine !!! And for a good reason: it looks simply amazing !

[@hollyparkes5441]

OH MY GOD THE STAIRS!!!!! YESSSSS LUCY!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@katc4984]

The stairs look fab! Glad all your hard work paid off! Will you be doing the banister in the same stain? X

[@WoodFinishesDirect]

Hey Lucy! Thanks for the shout out, we love the video. The stairs look great, you've really captured the character of the wood. Thanks Ben

[@rbr2023]

For a scary moment there when you said the paint had seeped through, I honestly though you were going to say you spent a few days PAINTING over the stairs to match the skirting! 😧😆😆

[@misbauman8496]

Wow you’ve done what man said could not or should not be done and it looks sooooo good!! Well done Lucy!! I’m so proud of you!

[@eilidgh17]

Stairs comrade ... Congrats they look amazing! I am still sanding spindles on my banister in my never ending stair journey.. It is truly the most tedious task in all of human existence and thus project has been rapidly replanned as half paint half bare wood banister. Embrace the Amish... Full Amish sipping cocktails whilst afternoon teaing is a vibe we all require.

[@emmabiondetti8827]

The stairs are beautiful! And congrats for not giving up on your project until you were happy with the result!

[@bellajanedunno]

Amazing work Lucy!! As everyone else has said- please stain the handrail the same colour and then *chefs kiss*

[@carlotabenetcros5556]

Wow!! Good job! Your stairs job it’s been so satisfying to watch! Congratulations, it looks fab

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thanks so much! It was worth the effort :)

[@cindyarrington6787]

You are phenomenal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯 Those stairs look fabulous. Damn girl, you are the most determined lady I have ever seen😉☺️ I cannot wait to see the carpet and the totally finished project. I should have known this was coming when you disassembled and reassembled the couch! You are amazing🥰 And I LOVE that denim dress!

[@annabayne]

The stairs look fab! I’ve done that so many times with the paint tape! Apparently you need to take it off within an hr or two of painting for it not to go through.. who knew! But they look lovely xx

[@helenlouisesmith2184]

You are right, they are GORGEOUS! Amazing job you should be so proud !

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you mucho! Hooray 🥳

[@ThatRomyKate]

Remember in the first stairs vlog when you said people online had said it was too much work and hassle and not to bother? I’m glad you did because they look awesome! Never knew I could be so invested in someone else’s stairs 😆

[@Emily-oh9ox]

Lucy, those stairs look so stunning! I am so impressed, the colour is absolutely gorgeous, you did such an amazing job

[@rootingbranches]

"Probably still going to eat it, so I'll give it a 4 out of 10" haha 😂 Me when it comes to questionable takeaways.

[@curlycrown3494]

You did so well! It looks beautiful! Also very fun to see you at the high tea with your friend, that looked lovely 😊

[@kasea2580]

They turned out great! Awesome job! Can’t wait to see the final look with the runner. I am still working on my stair redo because I got a little side tracked with the reno of our primary bedroom. Maybe this weekend it will get done, fingers crossed.

[@amarisviv]

Awesome vlog. The Cruella tea party looked amazing. It's so nice to get a view of London sites. I haven't been back in about 20 years....boo! I love London and have lots of family in the area and also in the Liverpool area. You did an amazing job on the stairs, love the stain color and I literally almost cried when you said the tape failed and that you got paint on the newly stained stairs after all that work!!!!! As I told you on IG -- YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! Can't wait to see the carpet. I don't know if you give yourself enough credit on how handy you are. Like, you are really good at figuring stuff out and doing an amazing job.

[@cristinaborges999]

I love Gemma hair! Love the color!

[@christelsnow2756]

Fabulous job on the stairs! I loved the Fancy tea, we don’t have them available in the US. Thanks for taking me along to the beautiful hotel in London. It was like a Disney fairy tale. Love from Chicago Christel

[@jend8156]

So proud of you. You did a lovely job.

[@katestewart6274]

It happened because you are a lovely person and deserve it 💜

[@LucyJaneWood]

That is very kind of you, thanks so much x

[@nadinegriffiths8044]

Jet ski and motorcycle 😂😂😂! I do love your sense of humour 😂 xxxx

[@AmberClareHawleyx]

That afternoon tea looked divine 🥰 I adored the Cruella film too! 🐕 As for your stairs, you have worked so hard on them and it's paid off loads - LOVE the stain you settled on 😊 although I wish you hadn't had some of the difficulties with them, I'm glad you've been honest about them too. Sometimes it seems like people can just perfectly do things in a small amount of time... it's nice to see realism, and that it still works out well 🤞🏻🖤

[@ashloxx8622]

When you said the tape didn't do its job my heart dropped for you. But it looks so good Lucy!! You should be proud of yourself!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahhh thank you! It was a painful moment hahaha

[@shirleydunn8050]

That afternoon tea looked lovely! I like the colour wood stain you chose. What a lot of hard work for you but they look great.

[@lunawieland9861]

AWESOME job! I enjoyed this series so much! the plane wooden stairs look perfectly fine like this already!... the wood is giving me rich and grand energy :D there is no need to cover them up with a carpet in my opinion...

[@not_them]

Brilliant job with the stairs, your hard work really paid off

[@faithhelena7850]

I absolutely love your videos.You are always so real and you make me laugh so much. Keep up the good work. Love the stairs 🥰

[@brinagotsued]

You have done an absolutely amazing job with the stairs, I'm very impressed that you did something the professional didn't want to do.

[@virginia_b]

Yay Lucy the stairs look beautiful! I’ve really enjoyed following along on this project :) can’t wait to see the runner too

[@marysogni3]

The stairs look great! Even though was not me who did them, I feel extra appreciative, knowing all the work that went into them/that you did them yourself.

staircase is unreal! love the sense of achievement at the the end of a tricky DIY 😅

It was a hell of a lot of work, but your staircase looks FANTASTIC! Definitely worth the (substantial) effort!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you! Kinda feels worth it now haha 🥲

[@MsInunnguaq]

Lucy & the staircase 🦉 it looks so good! All your hard work paid off 😄

[@azuraskye88]

Wowww. Nice job! I didn't trust that tape as soon as I saw it. I've used tape before and it broke my trust. You deserved that afternoon tea for all your hard work, and probably a holiday to boot. Xx

[@elainebye9090]

They ARE simply gorgeous! You nailed it.

[@melissam8546]

The stairs look amazing!😻 Absolutely gorgeous! Really well done Lucy. I’m gonna miss the staircase chronicles 😂

[@naomiharrison311]

I was watching you tape the stairs and thought “oh, I wonder what tape she is using. That never works for me” I guess it doesn’t work for anyone! They look amazing. I love the colour of the stain once it dried.

[@natalieajax-lewis4752]

The stairs look amazing. I know y OK u said you'd never do it again but you've done such a good job and you should be really proud of yourself

Haven’t seen Cruella yet but I totally agree with you, Beauty and the Beast was a great one!

Great job Lucy! The staircase looks beautiful! I absolutely loved Cruella, especially how punk rock it is!

Well done with all your hard work on the stairs. They look amazing xx.

[@emilysmith2784]

Frog tape is the only way to go. Worth every penny trust me!! So no sanding before painting skirting boards. Time to reevaluate my life choices. Did you use a gloss paint on the skirting boards?

[@MichMosh]

Ahhh! The stairs look amazing - the color and the crisp white are 👌🏻!

[@LucyJaneWood]

The white made such a difference 🥳

[@missvictoria62]

Stairs have turned out amazing well done! 🤩 Looking forward to the next instalment and what the carpet is goi g to look like!

[@amberdaniel4726]

For a second I thought Lucy was going to give the "to me you are perfect" speech from Love Actually to her stairs 😂 understandable though, when you've conquered something that brings out the deepest DIY-induced rage in you is finished, it is a top ten best feelings moment 💖

[@DaylightInMyHeart]

Wow, the stairs look amazing! You did a great job! 😍

[@sallylloyd6998]

Love this! They look amazing! There’s always that awful bit half way through where you think f**k it! But the end result is always worth it! Xx can I ask if you have thought about staining the banister to match the stairs?! Or would that push you over the edge! 🙈🙈😂

[@emmacondon7028]

So nice to see you out and about and enjoying life🥰

[@LucyJaneWood]

It was nice to be filming something outside of our walls haha 🥳

[@rachgeorgia9993]

Frog tape is apparently the best for getting those crisp paint lines

[@LucyJaneWood]

The worst part is we actually have Frog tape somewhere and I just couldn't be bothered to look for it 😂

@@LucyJaneWood oh no 🤦‍♀️ lesson learnt for next time maybe. You should be really proud of the job you’ve done on the stairs. I’m excited to see it with the carpet.
