Once upon a time there was a dreadful old house with a hideous staircase (in a house purchased by two 20-somethings who probably should have run screaming from it).
It had weird, western-themed wallpaper, a sturdy but utilitarian railing and carpet that looked like someone had cruelly skinned a muppet turtle and glued it to the floor. There really are no words to describe whatever that thing is hanging from the ceiling (and may still be there but under a giant and temporary paper lantern).
But we primed and painted and ripped out the turtle muppet carpet. Several years later, we ripped out the primed and painted walls, had the floors finished and had drywall put in, and last week I sanded, primed and painted the railing.
SOO much better! (These are just the primed pictures; the paint looks a lot smoother and more consistent.)
