For some reason, I’ve painted a lot of stairs in my time. Exterior, interior\u2014I’ve painted more stairs than I thought I would. But sometimes, painting the stairs is the easiest way to transform them. When my wife and I moved into our house, the stairs were covered in a truly hideous green carpet. We broke it almost immediately, and I thought I’d paint the stairs as a short-term solution. But we actually liked the paint and left it there.<\/p>\n
However, it’s getting a little worn, so it’s time to refresh the paint job, and we thought it would be a good idea to change things up by painting the risers a lighter color, for contrast (we love it). This gave me a chance to use one of my favorite little painting hacks: a wall edging pad on the stair riser. I forget who showed me this, but it makes the whole process much faster. In the past, painting something like stairs with all those angles and corners meant stiff wrists from using a metric ton of painter’s tape and cut-off brushes. (I’m pretty good with cut brushes these days and skip a lot of taping, but stairs still present a challenge.) But using wall edging pads means I can skip all the tape and save a lot of strain on my wrists.<\/p>\n
