In the future(once I find more money) I would like to replace the risers, treads, and railing but until then I need some suggestions. Should I paint the stairs black and hide all the imperfections or make a dusty mess and sand the stairs?
I like this banister for the top and bottom of the stairwell http://rowhousecreative.blogspot.com/2007/08/refurbishing-our-stairwell-banister.html
If I could replace my current iron railing with this one I would love my stairs.
