Earlier this week, I was explaining in our e-news that rather than feeling totally depressed coming home after two amazing weeks in the South West of France, we (actually more me than Steve), felt totally inspired when we opened our front door.
You see…the smart cookie that I am, booked decorators in to strip the stairs and paint them in white while we were away. So when we opened the doors onto these gorgeous all-white stairs, it was like walking into our holidays home again.
This wasn’t an easy decision….I have been pondering about white stairs since February and when Steve took off the carpet after a diner en tete-en-tete fuelled with wine, I fell in love with the distressed/industrial look of our stairs a la House Doctor. But the reality is that it is our family home and as much as I love industrial spaces, I had to make a decision.
So this weekend, I’m planning to take a few pics of our new white stairs and maybe have a go at this Ikea hack project Jan posted on Poppytalk to add a touch of blue in our entrance and make our London home even more like a holiday home. Wouldn’t this be good for the soul?…
Below is a photo of the stairs BEFORE they got painted

I actually love the look of the stairs before the paint…but I am sure white will be also great!
surtout ne change rien aux escaliers!!! c’est juste une tuerie!!!
Wow, I love this picture! But I´m sure I´m gonna love the “after”-one too. Have a nice weekend!
j’ai rêvé ou j’ai déja vu Mila… devant les escaliers peints… près d’un chapelet.??
j’aimais bien comme cela aussi, défraichi… mais si c’est déjà trop tard alors…
I love this, I must say, but understand what u mean. Can´t wait to see the after pic.
/H.
That shade of blue would look wonderful as well. But what I’m really in love with is that hallway floor.
Oh my!!!! I never had seen such a complete look at your hall.. it is amazing!!
Although it looks great I can imagine it looks very fresh being all white.. It is another great picture taken by Francois!
I can hardly wait to see! Have fun!
Wow, it looks amazing already! No paint please, hihi ;)
great photo, this will be a before and after where both look fantastic!
I just love the detail of the stairs, are the star of the house!
Toujours merveilleux ici!
Lovely house. The layout is identical to our house in London. So nice and bright.
