It isn't quite finished but I am falling in love already
These steps are the original steps in our 200 year old house, they are crooked too so it was challenging to put the poster paper on. This was a door poster, the largest I could find and it still wasn't wide enough or quite long enough but I like it. I purchased it from amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015TWJUE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I put the wallpaper type poster on by measuring each step, cutting the paper to fit then used mod podge to put it on. I do need to do something to edges where the paper stops, not sure at the moment what that will be.
I wanted to use a wood graining tool on the top of the steps but the steps are not completely flat so it wouldn't work so I made sort of a marble stone type of pattern on the steps using Black, 2 different shades of brown and a light grey with a sponge. They didn't come out quite as good as I wanted them to but they look good to me over all.
We had to put the stair treads back on because the dog is afraid to go up and down the steps without them and I don't want her to fall.
