DIY Stairs & Landing Makeover: Budget Bare to Beautiful | My Tiny Estate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- It was a mad scramble to get essential rooms in the Dower House done before bringing our baby, Danteo, home from America. One of those spaces was the landing outside the nursery and our bedroom. As you may recall, during much of the renovation, we used a ladder to get to the second level. That certainly wasn’t going to work with a baby, so we eventually installed some stairs but needed to add character, lay a floor, stain the stairs and make a space that is often ignored feel warm and inviting. We hope you like it!

I had no idea how crucial Tuesdays were until I discovered this channel...
Aww thanks so much for watching!! 💙
This definely my comfort blog
🥰🥰
Can’t wait to see the home decorated for Christmas. My favourite time of year and it’s so special with children. 🎄🤶🏻
Yessssss and we LOVE CHRISTMAS
I just love watching you guys. You always make me smile. 😁
Oh! I’m sure they do a good Christmas 🎄
Me too!!
Well Borja, I see no problem bringing character to your old property as there are already two characters living there….with one more in training. As for Dean, I was impressed that by the end of the video when the landing and stairs were being stained he was actually wearing gloves, guaranteeing there will be no stains on his hands-on renovation reputation. On the subject--- love how the stain color came out; not too dark, a little moody and still richly grained. You guys rocked it.
Ahh thanks ! Yes we are already teaching him to hold a paint brush hahahahah . Also our hands are taking a battering we try our hardest to protect them but inevitably we do it like 10 % of the time 😬
I've been couch-bound for a few months because of surgery. When I feel glum or lonely, hanging out with you two has been so uplifting. Your way of presenting feels so welcoming. Thank you!
I agree, I have nerve pain and am bed ridden. Never fails to bring a smile to my face and laugh out loud.
Hugs and a speedy recovery to you!
😁🤗😁
@@clairewright8153And to you too!
😁🤗😁
It’s looks stunning in the dark stain. ✨
Aww thank you and we hope you have a speedy recovery ❤️
Every breath you take
Every move you make
I will be watching you “ RUclips…My Tiny Estate”
😂😂😂 Thanks so much for watching!
The stairs and landing are beautiful, I expected nothing less, lol
Aww thank you so much! 😊
49 years ago, when we had our home built, my husband and I stained all the trim in the house - in the basement - in December - in Upstate New York - with no heat or running water connected yet. Good times! We were both working full time and Christmas morning there we were, getting the job done.
Watching you stain the floor, brought all those memories back. Thank you for sharing your staining experience, and may you look back on this time fondly, 50 years from now.
Oh wow! Sounds like something that we would do! 😊😊 Dean and I first apartment together nearly 13 years ago we were painting in New Year’s Eve, we were so exhausted that when the clock struck midnight we were deep asleep 😂
This was a 10x heart attack episode for me 😂. Every time you were on the ladder over the stairwell 🙈
🙈🙈
I love how you interact - you finish each other’s thoughts. It’s so sweet. I’d love to hear your love story sometime. It would be an awesome video and you could share it with your son when he gets older. Thank you for explaining not only the process of what you are doing but the thoughts and decisions that go into your choices. You’ve quickly become one of my fave channels.
Aww thanks so much that’s so kind 🥰🥰
I just LOVE you guys! And I respect the integrity with which you approach your ministry of renovation. You are both terrific ‼️
Aww thank you!! 🥰
Borja, your flooring cuts are brilliant! Beautiful job guys !
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰
Collecting antiques is my most enjoyable experience - problem develops when my collection becomes bigger than my home. Perhaps that is why I have moved 19 times in my 69 years - I will try to keep it going for as many years as possible because "ain't it fun?" Of course, luck and hard work have always been involved.
Hahah we hear you!! It is additictive when you find amazing pieces!
You guys are so sweet! Love the warmth you share. Your son is so lucky to have such wonderful parents - and a beautiful home!
You are so kind ❤️ Thank you!
Being an older person, i remember homes from the 60,s ... when we look for a colour for stain nearly everything including furniture was walnut.. Blackwood was always walnut. I absolutely love it, my home is furnished in 1940s .. 😅😊 you can definitely do the spindles and railings, look what you both have done aready 😊
Thank you! I bet you have increíble furniture! We will have to plan and discuss how to do it for sure ☺️
Love, love, love the stairs and landing! The color is perfect! Dean desk is a treasure as is the typewriter.❤
Thanks so much! 😊 we are so glad we went with that stain
I so look forward to Tuesday evenings. I love this! But then again, I love everything that you do! 😄
Thanks so much for watching 😊
@@mytinyestate wouldn’t miss an episode! Love you guys so much! And Borja’s mum! 🥰
DEAN looks so proud of his Purchasings
Indeed!
Borja on the ladder from the landing gave me palpitations - it looked a bit risky!
🙈🙈
I have to admit, when you started staining, I was unsure…..but your vision was spot on again. It looks so right & in agreement that the doors need the same stain 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Gosh the door conversation is another one of those that we are debating a lot 😂
It takes a special appreciation of materials and colors to meld the old with the new to create modern spaces. You two have that perfect sense. Love it!❤️❤️
Aww thank you!
The stairs had to be a beautiful deep brown, it is such a charming old building the light color would be too modern. Excellent choice and beautiful job! I adore your channel! ❤️
We agree! That was exactly our thought process ☺️
Great floor - fab auction find and slice of danger dealing with the stairwell "pit" What more could a TV serial need other than cake.
Hahahaha well Dean was eating cake as we won the auction! 😂
Your stairs are gorgeous. Love them. Thank you for this lovely video.
🥰🥰
Bravo on those curves with the flooring!! 👌👏 And that stain is gorgeous but....Borja painting on that ladder over the stairwell!!!! Stressed me out. 😦
Thanks!! 🥰❤️🙈
The staircase looks lovely staining is scary you never know how it's going to end up ❤
Exactly!!
Borja, you have the most beautiful eyes, I hope Dean appreciates you. Just love watching your channel. ❤
Aww thank you 🥰
Love how the dark stairs contrast against the wall colour. Nice touch of warmth to this space.
Thank you! 😊
Hi both a baby love seeing you ,like to see what you’ve done .I bet baby has grown an settled in now .sending love Ann ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🧸🧸
Aww yes he has and is loving life! He is getting so big 🥰
I LOVE the stain color and that (basically free) secretary was meant for that space!
🥰🥰
You are my favorite RUclips channel! I just love the stain you chose for the staircase and landing. It really suits the property.
Wow, thank you! Massively appreciate it 🤎
The stain works really well 😊for £20k you could buy the equipment to make the banisters and spindles yourself lol and have a big chunk of change left over 😂
That’s what our thoughts are 😬😆
Love the stain color for the floors. It matches more with the period your home comes from than the lighter color. Another great episode!
Thanks so much! 😊
Great color of the stain! I love your decorating taste. It is so great to see "traditional instead of "trending" colors
Stick to traditional and it won’t date ☺️
Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch: From the quality of the filming to the meticulous presentation. Each episode is so well thought out and very charming.
Ahh thanks so much 🥰
You never fail to impress me - absolutely beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Great job guys, I love, love, love the colour of the floors and stairs, great choice. Can't wait until the next video. Much love to the 3 of you from Australia xxx
Aww thank youuu ☺️☺️☺️🤩
The dark looks so much better. Beforehand the stairs looked unfinished to me. So lovely how it is turning out!
Yes we thought the same although we grew to like the unfinished oak ☺️
Every time I saw you guys on top of the ladder that only leaned at the ceiling, I panicked 😀 specially when Borgia was painting the ceiling 😮
The things we do to decorate hey!
I love the stairs - such an improvement boys! Can't wait to see what you do with the banisters!
Thank you! The banisters will be a challenge all together! 😅
Hi Dean & Borja, Absolutely stunning work guys👌What a brilliant job! Laying flooring,isn’t as easy as it looks!
I was scared 😱 you wasn’t going to see the grain, in the beautiful oak timber ! Then when Dean, said you apply,the stain with a cloth,I was overjoyed 😁
Sorry Dean, I’m with Borja,with the mirror🪞Only an opinion,I thought an antique, beautiful mirror would gorgeous!
🥰
Yess we love you can see the beautiful grain! Super thrilled with it
I’m working in Qatar to save money to buy a property in Portugal which my sister and I want to renovate ….I am so inspired by your content ! awe will never be able to take on the scale of what you two have but as a designer , I so appreciate the finishes and the intentional way you have approached the whole project . Amazing job❤❤❤ Greetings from Qatar 🇶🇦
I love this! You have a goal and are working towards it! We did too! We just started 13 years ago! ☺️
@@mytinyestate wow….i had no idea ! There is hope 😂 thank you
The color you guys picked was spot on for the stairs and the landing! The natural color was very nice, but a bit too modern for the aesthetic you’re trying to maintain throughout your beautiful estate. I really enjoyed having my morning coffee with you guys! 😁🤗🥰😁
Aww thanks! That was exactly what we thought! Loved the natural but wasn’t quite right for the cottage ☺️
You were so right about the stain colour, it is perfect.
Can I just suggest that the beautiful picture on the landing goes to an expert to get re stretched, it has a rippled look because it has become loose on it’s stretcher, which is not good for the painting.
I did notice the same watching back the video!
I have always renovated older homes and properties. I enjoy going to friends and families homes that are modern, but I want to come back to my older, more nostalgic/realistic home. I do not enjoy either painting or staining - but gotta sometimes do it. Staining is by far the most difficult. LOVE THE STAIN COLOR YOU HAVE BOTH WORKED VERY HARD ON. I have a farm house in the U.S. where I grew up, and a beautiful property/home in Austria. After I am gone, if none of the family wants any of my stuff then they can sell it.
Staining is tricky to get that perfect colour that works appropriately for the house! We do love modern stuff too but we have become obsessed with finding antiques they just have so many stories which make them special and unique 🥰
I'll admit when I first saw the stain going on I thought it was way too dark! But, it really does look lovely and right for the age of the house. I'm kind of surprised with a kid coming you didn't opt to carpet the stairs? I had no trouble with them as a kid, but both my brother and sister (having longer legs and bigger feet 😁) had a habit of falling both down and UP the stairs on a fairly regular basis. I swear, my sister's legs were bruised from knee to shin for at least the first 10 years of her life. Anyway, carpeting on stairs can be a b*tch to clean, so there's that. Finished, the landing area is gorgeous! 😘
I know! That’s our only worry we will just have to be very cautious with him using them
The narration of your videos is top notch. It makes me feel like I’m there with you.
Glad you enjoy it! 💙
Im always amazing at the amount of time, effort and patience that you have …….everything will be jut perfect when you have finished……..can’t wait to see what you are working on next time……….hope the babe is doing well…..❤❤ Donna in Toronto
Thanks so much 🥰
And Beautiful Dresser, and Tepwriter ❤. It So, So, Beautiful.Thank you Both.❤. Raquel.
Thank youuuuuu
@@mytinyestate Your Welcome Dean, Borja.❤️. You Both and your Beautiful baby boy.❤️. Raquel.Thank you Both.🤗.
Love that you’ve got artwork above a table you don’t need a lamp let the art speak ❤❤❤
Definitely 🥰
@@mytinyestate the whole landing area and the wood stain looks fantastic clever you two are 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Need to see the baby please!
🥰🥰
The hallways are going to look super when all done and i love the darker stain i would probably have got it all over the carpet ! With young children i did carpet my stairs as wooden ones are very slippy with young children running round - love your vlogs and love that you do so much yourselves thanks for sharing ❤
Yes that is our only worry the stairs with the little one… we may have to supervise them using them for many years 😬
I found you 3 days ago, and im hooked on you guys 😀....love, love your way and im old enough to be your mums 😅...good luck to you and baby ❤
Aww thank you!! We are thrilled with him ☺️
Your attention to detail, your colors and layouts are second to none, so restful and welcoming. You must be so proud of all you do. 😊
We are ☺️ when we look back though 😂
Yes I agree the mirror can be bigger I absolutely love it 😍 but bigger would be FABULOUS 👍👍👍👍.
Thank youuu 🙂
Everything you do looks amazing.
You are very kind 😀😀
I absolutely love the dark colour on the oak, I don't like modern it feels cold to me, darker feels warmer, and suits the surroundings like the beams and that beautiful bureau 😊
We agree! It suits this space better 🤎
I gotta say you guys are amazing…. Your designs, your implementation but most importantly how you work together. Of course there is off camera angst but still, the cooperative nature of your relationship is exemplary. Cheers
That is so kind ❤️ Thank you!
Amazing guys!!! You can’t do anything less though can you!? I’m nearly 62 and have semi renovated four houses, I thought I had a fairy good taste…yours is SOOOO much better!!!
Aww you are too kind ! Our style is definitely evolving over time 🥰
The floor contrast is warm and inviting, good choice guys!
Aww thanks! Honestly we love it
Great work. The whole landing area looks lovely already. I think I had that typewriter at home, when I first started to learn typing. Boy was that a long time ago. Best wishes
Yes!! I remember having one when we were little and loved the noise that made 😅
Stunning! Just as amazingly beautiful as everything else you have done. Thank you for sharing all these renovations with us.
Thanks so much for watching! 💙
Borja you scared the life out of me up that ladder😅😅😅ohhh my the colour of the staining is stunning. Yet again you both are so bloody talented. Now I want to sand my flooring and go darker😍😍😍
Thank you!! 😊🥰
Beautiful!!! The house is prettier then ever. ❤
☺️☺️
I love all your shows. You are both very good and I can’t understand how you can manage all! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much!
I just know it’s going to look good. Once again 🎉❤ it’s amazing! Great job 👏🏻!!!! It all looks so cozy…
Thanks so much! 😊 banister is going to be interesting 😅😂

☺️
Everything you guys do is fabulous 🤩
😊
Aww you are filming ahead of time that’s why the baby is not there. 😩silly me.
Yessss 😊
20K for the banisters? That's insane! Even for beautiful ones! I'm starting to have restored house envy. But, not enough to take on a project. I admire your taste and bravery!
Oh, look at me, watching this again and gushing in the comments!
That hallway looks beautiful. You made really good choices.
Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
Thank you! 🤗

YAY! Made my evening.
Thanksss
Absolutely love the colour of the stairs!
Thank you! 😊
I adore the stain colour of the staircase. I know most decorators want colours that are neutral and light, but I am old-fashioned in that I like colours that are a little darker. I do not like it too dark but I prefer it to be a little darker, especially with little kids and the mess they make when they use the walls as a blank canvas.
I totally agree! This was the perfect off white, as it works beautifully with the antiques but feels bright and fresh 😊
Lighter staircase belongs to blond people. It used to be the "modern colour" till recently. My property has white oak and kind of feels a bit dated now.
I personally think the darker stain is more current. Job well done 👏
Really? I mean I do think the light natural colour works really well for a type of property but I don’t think it works great for an old cottage ☺️
@@mytinyestate Idk. A few years back it feels like all had to be light oak on floor, dining furniture, kitchens, etc. Clean scandi. Now dark wood or combination of different tones is more pleasing / grown up. I either have stain my floor or rethink my new kitchen.
Can't wait for more videos
Actually, I also like oak light or white washed- like your families -, but your staircase is absolutely beautiful, fits you and your 3-man house 😉 perfectly. I'm already excited about the railing. Greetings from cologne Andy
Ahh thanks 🥰
The stairs looks now amazing! Good choise!
We made the right move I think 🥹☺️
That elevated the stairs to fitting in perfectly. Looks amazing!
Thank you so much 🥰
I love the staircase and landing. That color stain is gorgeous. Great choice.
Thank you!!
Love the dresser, just the perfect amount of patina!
I think so too!
That stains makes me want to rip off all the carpet in my house and use that same stain. Lush great work guys
Looking forward to seeing the stair rail❤
Ahhh thank you!
👏👏👏👏 your attention to detail is spot on ….love the art work and the mirror, see you next week 😘
Thank you! 🥰🥰
Absolutely beautiful color for the stairs you’re home going to be amazing
Thanks so much! 🤗
I started RUclips just 1 day ago and I achieve just 19 subscribers yet I pray for all of you you achieve your goals 🎉
Good luck
@@mytinyestate thanks dear 🤗🙏
Asking for forgiveness. A few weeks ago when you posted the colour of staircase I responded with Why didn’t you keep it natural as the latest style is. But now after watching how much you researched it, you definitely made the right choice.
I also have to decide light or dark. I presently have Jacobean brown but need to change floor I’m now sure I’m staying dark. Thx
It’s hard isn’t it because light is lovely ! It just didn’t work for the aesthetic we were going for !
The stairs are stunning, well done both of you…❤❤
🥰🥰
Gorgeous landing of course and great call on the colour for the stain! 😃
Thanks a lot!
Stunning stunning stunning, I absolutely adore the colour of the stain! You guys have impeccable taste as always and those auction finds tie it together beautifully ❤
PS Borja I'm so on team PJ's when doing reno work around the house. I can't say how many PJ's have paint stains on them.
Thanks for the updates love you guys 🤗
Haha yes I always pick the comfiest clothes and they are all ruined now haha
Love the staircase. Good choice, the dark wood with light walls. I have dark wood with white walls and love it. x
Yesss it’s the perfect contrast 🤎
@@mytinyestate It’s almost as though old cottages are happiest with this colour theme, taking them back to their early days. Although, having said that, I found a dark sage green on the back of one of my cottage doors. Mine was built in 1890s so not as old as yours, but they have so much character don’t they x
I always seem to be away doing audits on Tuesdays at the moment… and being a day late for my tiny estate fix! Looks fab, I love the dark stain choice xx
Thanks! 💙
Just stumbled on your channel and now am literally obsessed. Such great content. Greetings from the Philippines!

I think your right bigger mirror on the stairs makes more of a statement
Yes 🥰
