  • There were a few things I learned along the way as I painted my stairs in rainbow colors with Valspar paint and stenciled a Brené Brown quote with StencilGirl stencils. More at bit.ly/2TC8Eoo

    You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on UA-cam and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
    What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
    Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
    I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

    Steps are treads. "Tread where you have the courage to step." You had the riser correct. And what a wonderful, very "you" project. Kudos.

    Really love this idea - I too have a set of stairs going down to my studio and they sure are not so pretty. I may just steal this idea and do the same thing this summer, when I can open all the windows and air my house out. Thanks

    Thank you for this wonderful story, especially the memories of painting with your daughter. I struggle to find Me Time for art, but also love playing and creating with my daughter. Thank you for reminding me of the pleasure in both. 💜

    Wow, Carolyn.. That was a "stairway to heaven", if I ever saw one. I love how they came out. How can you NOT smile going into your studio.. Put a pep in your "step". Get it?

I have rainbowitis just like jane davenport and amy tangerine and it looks like you do too... Ive heard lots of great tips from just a few videos ive watched of yours. I had to sunscribe and hit the bell of course im gonna need to seriously binge watch your videos.. If i get annoying with comments on old videos i appologize in advance.. Lol 😂...

    Great idea and I really like the stairs... what a wonderful memory for you to share. I LOVE the painting behind your head that says "FRIENDS"... really beautiful and colorful --- like your stairs. Thank you so much for sharing. :)

    I have been watching your videos for a while now and I love you! I love how you let go and just do what makes you happy. You have helped me get over making "pretty" art and to do art from my heart. Thank you so much. You inspire me and I know so many more people. 😊

    They look great! I always think I have a plan when I start a project but it's usually out the window in 5 minutes or less.

    What a lovely video! I love your stairs, and the gallery walls on either side. So much colourful goodness! Thanks for the handy tips too, we've been thinking of painting our stairs, and wouldn't have thought of doing every other step so you can still get up and down while the paint is still wet!

    The good news is that I had already picked out five colors -- the bad news is that NONE of them are floor paint. Ok -- I guess it's time to get the correct paint. (SIGH....) A dear friend of mine did a similar project with her grandchildren. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cheerful stairs to her basement! I just wish I'd seen this video before I bought the first batch of paint. LOL!

    I love all the colors and the quote is a great one! Thank you for the tips! I have some basement stairs that have the old shag carpeting on them that would be perfect for painting after I get the carpet off. Did you seal them with anything?
