I really like this stairwell. Right now and for about 10 years we've tried to come up with a plan of redoing our stairs. Well do you think we can agree on anything. Not exactly.  For the moment were motionless due to  money. The stairs are sanded and ready for whatever comes next. lol Funny yes. My sister in law used similar blue soft paint so Im tryin to stay away from that soft serene blue. Ok so I like it. Maybe a soft green.? the blue is very relaxing to me.Moving on so the spindles Ive kept plain wondering if I should paint them as well. We will get there I know that. So for now I look at them every single time I walk up the stairs.:)
