The treads have a small carpet on them which is a dark rust-brick-red and they show every little thing--the carpet is also so rough it seems to scrape everything off our shoes. I am actually hoping I can get the exact same thing in black. That carpet has saved my upstairs hardwood. As far as upkeep goes, I am hoping the black won't be any worse than the dark rusty red brick colour is now. Cross your fingers for me.

I'm wondering if you've thought of the dust factor that will come with having black treads? I think black treads with white risers and stringers would indeed look striking, but perhaps the upkeep might be more than you bargained for? The darker you go, the more the dust and hair (human and pet) will show, requiring more frequent vacuuming. Also, another thing to consider --- the grain of the wood showing through beneath the paint (are the treads oak?) --- don't know if this might be an issue and/or if that's something that might bother you.

Do you think the dark blue doors will drag it down now? I'm excited to see how it all looks when you get done. Will the blue be a glossy paint or satin? I would think it would need some kind of sheen to it. (Listen at me, like I'm the paint guru. I'm so NOT!)<br />Gina in Chattanooga, TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
