    Sound 🔈the sound bug appears again 🤣 around the 4 minute mark the sound ducks louder, unfortunately I can’t fix this once uploaded but it only lasts a few seconds and you can use the closed caption audio. Apologies for the inconvenience, READ MORE HERE: www.daintydressdiaries.com/2021/09/diy-stair-runner-using-e17-sollinge-ikea-rugs.html Also, thank you for allowing me the space to make mistakes, editing takes a lot of time and doesn't always go to plan, thank you for your kindness and understanding.

      I was going to ask why the music was drowning you out... Will do as you suggest mute and closed caption. Love your shows. I asked my husband to teach me how to use his drill this summer because of you. We had fun learning and I am getting good at it now. THANK YOU

    Thanks again Catherine!! Great job. You have inspired me to look at my house thru your eyes. I haven't even gave a crap since my husband passed away. To much sadness. But thanks to you I sort of feel like I could try. It's hard to look at my house as mine cause Steve and I lived here for 20 years. We were married for 43 years. Thanks again god bless and be safe

My Dad always told me never wait for a man to do things for you, I always tried, didn't succeed much in carpentry, but he taught me how to paint and redo furniture. You empower many young women watching your videos and let me tell you it's a pleasure to watch you work and see the after of your work. Great job, your home is so lovely.

  • @chrisandjasmine3077
    @chrisandjasmine3077 3 года назад

    Oh Catherine your stairs looks fab. There is literally no end to your talents that's fantastic what you did. Our stairs are very big and steep and we are just leaving the carpet that was here when we moved in as it's a good neutral colour and very hard wearing, plus we can't afford to redo them, and with them being so steep we are scared to change in case it makes them slippy as I'm not too good on the stairs. This idea is brilliant though and will definitely think about doing the same when the time comes we need to change ours. I laughed so much what you said about you just repairing the house and Blondie owns it lol. My mum has three wee kitties and her stairway carpet is plucked to bits. Mum is having special new cat pluck proof carpet put on soon but it's only going to cost about £300 to £400 so not too bad. I love your big mirror also it makes the landing bigger looking and great for checking the style before making an entrance downstairs lol. Great work well done xx

    Great job on the stairs when I am back home from Ireland I will check this out an see about fixing up the stairs at my brothers house. If I can make a suggestion take some of the 1/2" round that you put at the beginning of the stairs (in the entrance way) and frame the baseboard on your top landing with it. This way you will get a more finished look. All in all you did a great job with the house. Makes me envious of not purchasing a house when I wanted to know they tell me I am too old for one, so I am renting an apartment in Ireland. I am truly enjoying been back home still getting use to the weather changes but otherwise great. Keep these great videos coming I know we all truly enjoy them. Thanks you

    Stairs look great and I love the small area rug at the top of the stairs and placement of your Mirror, real nice. I have the same carpet but large one from Ikea and I love it. It’s indoor outdoor, so wash if anything drops with a sponge. And has worn well for me. Like the new painted floor too and steps. Perfect.

You don't hang about if a job needs doing. You have turned your home into a little palace and I know you put in a lot of toil to get there, perhaps all the sweeter for that for the sense of achievement it brings. Well done!

    My cat hasn't scratched up my beautiful wool Berber carpet, my dogs did that before she arrived. I have scratch posts of all sizes and heights and she uses them but she has annihilated the tops of my raised beds sharpening her claws on the wood.
    The rugs are a brilliant idea, it works well on your stairs. I have to agree about the Sollange beige rugs on the Ikea site, they do have a pinky tone to them.

    Catherine, I see you as a younger version of me. I have my own house too, and done my stairs with runner too. I just get on with decor like you do. And I have my power tools. I rarely hire a decorator. 😀

    Minimalist, that’s what I think you are, as well as functional. Great option as usual 🥰
