Lauren you are such a hard worker! I get tired just watching you, but it is so satisfying I can't stop looking :) Just thought I'd share that I've always used tack cloth the way you were demonstrating by keeping it folded. I just learned that the "proper" technique is to open it all the way up and then scrunch it up in your hand and wipe the dust away (re-scrunch as it becomes less tacky). I found that the tack cloth picked up way more dust and I didn't throw so many away :) Shout out to Nieman for the great video editing!
I'm the same! I get exhausted just watching her, but I used to be young and worked 80 hours a week PLUS did stuff like that too. And now I'm just flat worn out. But I still like watching people do what all I used to do. I was given a small round table by The Bombay Co. that is kind of Art Deco looking and the finish looks like Bakelite, but I'm not sure what it is exactly. I've gotta do more research. So now I'm wanting to refinish furniture again. I did everything from having a garden and canning food to reselling at flea markets, cross-stitching, quilting, writing, cooking like crazy, jewelry making, ETC. Seeing Lauren makes me realize why people used to be amazed at how hard I worked. But it was just my way of life. I didn't think there was any other way. And I always had so much I wanted to do and get done. I'm amazed at that paint roller. 15:37 My dad used to paint houses as his side job and I would have loved to have shown him that! He was a firefighter as his main job, but painted houses on his off days. They have so much new stuff now! But he used Sherwin Williams exclusively, even back then! He was a firefighter from 1960-1982 and painted houses from 1965-whenever Mama made him stop. He lived to be 95 and died in 2010, or he'd be painting still, I'm sure. He also gardened too. 26:50 Ok, so now I'm wanting to redo my stairs. I don't even know what's under the ugly carpet. I bought this house in 2005 and have wanted to do something with the stairs ever since. And I'm loving that blue!
So lovely! I can't wait to see what the doors look like when you get to them. I love those original doors! I would love to walk up those stairs in an Air B&B. That would feel like a vacation destination, for sure!
I’m probably going to be keeping them pretty much the same! May use a bit of restore a finish to the doors but I also love the rustic old world feel of the doors too!
Love how that stairway turned out. I’m disabled and it came way to early in my life! I was a worker and I so enjoyed it. Nothing more fulfilling after a day’s work and seeing your results! Watching you work makes me happy for you and what you and Neinum are accomplishing! God’s blessings on you both!
I'm disabled too and it came when I was only 44. (63 now.) But I used to work soooo hard. And I basically broke my body down doing it, but it was nice while it lasted. I just wish I had taken better care of myself.
Oh, Lauren - the stairs are awesome 😎!!! I love the stain color and the kick plate wallpaper is perfect!!! I was thinking tiles - but this is so much easier and less expensive. Your vision is amazing !! 💕😘😘
OMG Lauren! That looks absolutely fabulous! The color is spot on . It was a dark dreary hallway and now it's a perfect segway to this wonderful rental!! Great job!
Beautiful color stain, one of my favorite shades of blue. 💙 I admire your courage to step out of your comfort zone and get outside the box when flipping 🩵💙
Great job on the stairs they are no easy feat, btw the back of the stair is called a riser ! When I saw you bought a cordless belt sander I was quite surprised, I immediately thought you would kill through those batteries in 15-30 min. I would definitely recommend corded tools when working on the house for detailed work you just can't beat them. .
Love the whole stair job. Aqua is my favorite color so when we redo my bedroom and bathroom in a couple of months it’ll be aqua. I’m 74 and have health issues so I’ll have help. 💕💕
Love it! Would you consider staining the rest of the wood besides the hand rail in the stairwell the same blue? I think it would be an even bigger statement.
YOU are an INSPIRATION and a great teacher! (We just pulled carpet off our stairs and used 10" multi tool fence pliers to pull our staples - recommended by another gal who had DIYed her stairs. Life saver!)
Woo hoo! We removed the carpet from our stairs a few years ago. I felt all your pain with the removal of staples and the sanding. Huge undertaking, your end result is gorgeous!
Lauren, it was a brilliant, thinking outside of the box moment, to stain the stair treads that beautiful turquoise/blue color. Also, ingenious to come up with your solution to the kick plate dilemma!! Voilà!! One gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, stairwell!!! Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see what’s next! 😉
I absolutely love the staircase. It is very eye-catching. And blue is my favourite colour . A friend of mine painted her stairs red but I've never seen the paper on the back. It looks stunning!
Love the outcome Lauren! Looks great! You seem to be blossoming through these Renos, gaining in confidence and excitement. You definitely have a designer eye and the talent to fulfil your vision. Well done! Perhaps you’ll become a house flipper as well as a furniture flipper. ❤ 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Such a nice transformation and it offers a warm welcome to your future guests. You are incredibly energetic with such a great work ethic. Cannot wait to see what's in store for your next video.
Absolutely love the stairs...u r such a hard worker and the end results shows it. Love the blue stain. I saw this stain at Walmart and bought it last fall. I put it on a cutting board to make a look like back ground for a snowman.. Keep up the hard.work and the videos coming. Kudoos to Nieman for the great videos.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Woo whoop that is so beautiful! The stain is so lovely what a great accent to your Airbnb and then if I remember you’re going to be putting giant canvases or Lucite photos of attractions on the way up the stairs to I think that was one of your brain storm sessions with Neiman! It came out beautifully your hard work shows how to restore a lovely home and the love that you pour in it will be just amazing for everyone to visit good luck to both of you beautiful video
I am so addicted to you girl! Just watched your stair project at the Airbnb so have to add my ginormous thumbs up to a job well done. Your color choice was spot on. Makes we want to climb the stairs to see what’s in store at the landing. Congrats & here’s to many more successes 😊
Looks absolutely amazing 👏 I really ❤️ the blue stain and wallpaper really makes it pop. This was a really tough project and you definitely pulled off a beautiful design. 💯❣️
Wow! I can’t believe you were able to tackle the stairs! What a difficult and tedious chore. Now we will need to find a reason to get to Nebraska just so we can stay in this Airbnb. It looks gorgeous!
We had a house with the same old stapled/tacked stairs . We took out the reachable metal tacks, then went to Menards, bought stairs treads to clad over the tops, and 1" planks for risers! So easy of a fix. No splinters or nail snags!
Hi guys this stairwell looks AMAZING, love,love the blue it actually looks like something you'd see in the most beautiful homes in Greece, it's absolutely beautiful love it ,all the best Mary in Australia 🌻😊
You have inspired me! My front hall (Shared with upstairs neighbor) has Yucky carpet. I think it will be a nice welcoming change to rid the steps of the carpet.
The stairs (since you asked) are just a paint grade pine. I think the glue you are fighting, is where plastic/rubber stair treads once were. They were very common, and probably glued down. Best to cover that type of wood. It really isn’t meant to be stained, for a finished look. What you ended up with is perfect. The stain is opaque, and covering the risers with the paper was spot on. Not for nothing, but I have two sets of oak stairs, that are beautiful. I ended up putting carpeting down the center of them! I hated doing it, but wood steps are dangerous. I had three people, (myself included) and all of my dogs take headers down them! I had enough, and put the carpet down. It actually looks great, with the wood showing on either side, and much less painful. Lol. Something we don’t usually think of, until it happens.
Hi Lauren, you are such a hard worker! Found your channel two weeks ago and I am absolutely loving everything. Have a question for you, (loved the lamp set you did for ourself) I wish you would do it again but this time list them for sale to see what you could make on lamp flipping! Keep up the good work 💕

That Bottom Stair, where you have just the white paint, you should put the name of your AirBnB in fancy script . Just a suggestion. Lovely job Vicki K

Stairs looks great, maybe you could use the Cricut to do a welcome sign on the area where you had to paint white.
Oooooo, great idea!
The paint colour is to die for they complement each other so much I've watched this twice so far lol
The stairs are strikingly beautiful, pretty color, too.
Oh, Lauren - the stairs are awesome 😎!!! I love the stain color and the kick plate wallpaper is perfect!!! I was thinking tiles - but this is so much easier and less expensive. Your vision is amazing !! 💕😘😘
yes! I thought tiles too but then I found this and thought it would be perfect!!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher And after 10-15 years, you might redo it with some tiles! 🙂
You’re the most ambitious person I’ve ever watched. Actually glad I found your channel on RUclips.
OMG Lauren! That looks absolutely fabulous! The color is spot on . It was a dark dreary hallway and now it's a perfect segway to this wonderful rental!! Great job!
Beautiful color stain, one of my favorite shades of blue. 💙 I admire your courage to step out of your comfort zone and get outside the box when flipping 🩵💙
The paint has lightened up that stairway so much. Looking so good.
Yes I agree! Thanks!!
Great job on the stairs they are no easy feat, btw the back of the stair is called a riser !

Lauren you always put your heart and soul into your work. As always your projects come out beautifully.❤️❤️
Thank you so much! yes, i love trying new things and learning from mistakes! thanks for watching & supporting! 🤩
Awesome idea...I love it! Laughed at the sander comment "It's a honker" 😂🤣😆
Great job. You are beaming with pride as you should. The color choice is adorable.
Love the whole stair job. Aqua is my favorite color so when we redo my bedroom and bathroom in a couple of months it’ll be aqua. I’m 74 and have health issues so I’ll have help. 💕💕
Once you finish with the stairs you are going to love it. The stair color is beautiful, great idea.
I love how it turned out. The peel and stick is so pretty. Great job Lauren
Love it! Would you consider staining the rest of the wood besides the hand rail in the stairwell the same blue? I think it would be an even bigger statement.
I love it. Even the pattern stays with the retro vibe!
The paper on the stair riser is absolutely awesome!! Love the bay blue on the step!!
YOU are an INSPIRATION and a great teacher!
(We just pulled carpet off our stairs and used 10" multi tool fence pliers to pull our staples - recommended by another gal who had DIYed her stairs. Life saver!)
Love the blue stain and peal and stick were really great choices!
Woo hoo!

Words can't express how amazing this looks!! So proud of you and all of the hardwork!!! You deserve another vacay
Thank you so much! I think it came together really well!
Lauren! May God bless you for your hard work 😓! Looks so beautiful! And new/retro 😎.
yes! glad you picked up on the retro vibes!
Wow Lauren, the stairs are absolutely gorgeous…
I would definitely love those stairs in my own home! The blue of the steps and the peel and stick for the risers…👍🏻
Lauren, I WUV, WUV, WUV THE BAY BLUE STAIN ON THE STAIRS!!!!!
Love the outcome Lauren! Looks great! You seem to be blossoming through these Renos, gaining in confidence and excitement. You definitely have a designer eye and the talent to fulfil your vision. Well done! Perhaps you’ll become a house flipper as well as a furniture flipper. ❤ 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I am in love with that blue stain! You did a gorgeous job on the stair case! 👍🏻❤️
Wow it looks so good! Love love the stairs Lauren! That was a lot of work but it turned out so good!

Lauren you are so patient. Great job! Paint the hand rail some color too. To brighten it up a bit.
I love the blue stairs. I actually guessed blue! Love the wallpaper strips. Great job!
Looks absolutely amazing 👏 I really ❤️ the blue stain and wallpaper really makes it pop. This was a really tough project and you definitely pulled off a beautiful design. 💯❣️
Really loved the color on the stairs. Fantastic job, the stair backs are super looking.

Great job my amazing RUclips friend. The stairs are stunning and so are you. Looking forward to the next video.
The stair color and backboard design really compliment each other
I think so too! thanks for watching!
We had a house with the same old stapled/tacked stairs .
We took out the reachable metal tacks, then went to Menards, bought stairs treads to clad over the tops, and 1" planks for risers! So easy of a fix. No splinters or nail snags!
I absolutely LOVE the stairs!
What a trooper you are. You just roll with the punches! Your stairwell is so happy and inviting just like you wanted. Fantastic job Lauren!
Love the peal and stick pattern choice too
Love the color choice for the stairs and I love the peel & stick choice that you selected for the stairs.
Been there, done that! The end look is well worth it. Enjoy watching you. Be safe!
Wow well done for sticking the stairs . Big transformation looks amazing well done
What a transformation. Wow!!! Your B&B is definitely an eye catcher. The backer board “wallpaper” makes the whole space. Great job Lauren!
Absolutely fabulous Lauren. A huge and very tiring job but the end result is well worth it. Well done.
LAUREN, THE STAIRS ARE AWESOME

Lauren - I wasn’t sure how the blue staircase was going to look but you made the right choice- it looks amazing-
The stairs are amazing...certainly makes the entry to your airbb so much brighter and fun
Totally agree!! Thanks for watching!
Amazing Transformation!
Well done!

Hi Lauren, you are such a hard worker! Found your channel two weeks ago and I am absolutely loving everything. Have a question for you, (loved the lamp set you did for ourself) I wish you would do it again but this time list them for sale to see what you could make on lamp flipping! Keep up the good work 💕
Thank you! Those lamps were fun! 🤗 not sure if I will sell them…you should try it and sell!
Love the color! I would love to see you stencil some designs on the upper riser so you see it when walking up the steps.
