I am going to guess it was because my older two are taller and would block the staircase and trim on the wall. Thank you looking!Christy plantedandbloominggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103033938558296868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258878271483574043.post-58294199629363396612013-09-25T18:29:20.596-07:002013-09-25T18:29:20.596-07:00So this question is probably WAY too personal, but I went to all the trouble to look you up online after seeing your stair page in the magazine...so here goes. Feel free to not answer.<br><br>You have a gap in ages between your second and third son, and a matching gap between people on the stairs. Is there a child missing? I lost a baby brother, and we always left a gap for him in our photos. Just wondering if I&#39;m filtering my own experiences onto your magazine photo, or if I see something intentional. Sending you congratulations and support either way. :)Mishqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16857513494635964672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258878271483574043.post-60360695619334547902013-09-15T18:29:45.576-07:002013-09-15T18:29:45.576-07:00Congrats!

I really don&#39;t know if it comes in any other finish, the girl behind the paint counter at Lowe&#39;s suggested it, so I tried it! It was very dull, so that&#39;s why I added the poly on top. I did two coats of the black, then one of Minwax semi gloss, it isn&#39;t slippery either. It has really stood up to all the traffic, but oh the dog hair really shows! (But I figured that hair was all over the carpet and I never knew it so now it&#39;s actually being cleaned up more often!)Christy plantedandbloominggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103033938558296868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258878271483574043.post-36647034798424855102013-08-21T15:48:11.376-07:002013-08-21T15:48:11.376-07:00Hi Christy, as soon as I saw your painted stairs in BHG, I searched out your blog to see how you did it. If I could just ask you one question, you used black porch paint but was it satin or semi-gloss? I had originally painted my stairs all white, which means I have to tackle them with the bleach cleanser a couple times of week and so sick of it! I have four dogs, so you can understand my frustration!pattidollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571226566063481715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2258878271483574043.post-3505258606039643892013-08-16T17:34:44.311-07:002013-08-16T17:34:44.311-07:00Thanks Kevin!!! a.k.a.
