White paint is just white paint, right? I hate to say it, but no. There are so many different shades of white paint out there.

The first time I walked through my house I can remember looking up at the giant bulky staircase and thinking, I’m going to knock that out in a day. Now it may have taken more than a day to complete, 3 months to be exact, but I finally did renovate that awkward staircase!

So I picked up my tools and got to work! And this modern staircase renovation tutorial turned out to be one of my favorite projects ever!
This was an intimidating project to start and it took me almost 3 months to finish. I poured my whole heart, mind, and body into this staircase transformation!

I’m a DIY nerd, I know. I love all the little things! If you’re looking for the courage to make a change in your home, I am your biggest cheerleader. You can do it! Now let’s renovate these stairs.
It was time that I spruced up my boring beige Las Vegas entrance with a DIY welcoming front door paint makeover!
