Our new stair runner

Ever since we bought the house, I have wanted a runner for the stairs. My dad is retired but worked in the carpet and oriental rug business for 35 years. He still dabbles in the business. I can't complain about the oriental rugs he got us but His Highness never really liked the look of a runner, so he never wanted to hook us up with one (so opinionated). I wanted the quality that he could get, though. He finally agreed that for my DH and I both turning 40, he'd buy us a runner. He paid for installation, too! I do not have a picture of our runner on our main stairway yet. Here is the stairway area as it looked 3 years ago:

I will post photos of it with the runner and the pictures that are now up. I love it!!!!

Here are our front 3 steps (not the main stairway) with the runner (same one that we got on main stairway).

I am considering getting the finial rods that go along the back of the step. What is really funny is that now everyone in my family wants stair runners. My parents are even considering it after 35 years of my dad saying that it is not his taste. He is going to be so busy getting runners in his retirement!!!!

Very nice! I keep telling my DH we need a runner for the upstairs hall and down the stairs. I'm going to show him these pics to strengthen my case. So pretty!!!!

I love it!! I cannot wait to replace our runner, but there are so many other things higher on the to-do list right now. Your stairs look so nice too with the white/wood combo. Love it! Chat Icon
