I also feel very strongly about waterfalls...DONT like it, don't do it...pet hair, dust, uch! I adore the clean tailored look of the other option so much more...and I really don't care for those bars at ALL! They remind me of hotels, but not in a good way. One thing I don't think you touched on, that I am considering is a decorative nail head trim...big and bold (and pricey...) which is why I haven't done this yet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519235927578584348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-57955255954901322492011-03-15T21:01:47.085-04:002011-03-15T21:01:47.085-04:00If you didn't like stair runners before, you w...If you didn't like stair runners before, you will after seeing this post.

It is, unfortunately, builder's orange, yuck. From a cleaning point of view, I prefer the wood steps. I despise vaccuuming carpeted stairs but a quick dusting of the front stairs is so easy.<br />One day I would like to paint the steps black and install a runner.<br />Nice images--my fave is the short curved steps and landing outside of a master bedroom.Kerry Steele- Design du Mondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13066816712379181399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-71348637962330389522011-03-15T01:21:35.992-04:002011-03-15T01:21:35.992-04:00Wonderful informative post.
