The stairs look amazing! 😍 I thought I’d share my painting tips as the child of chronic renovators who has been roped into painting more walls than she can count: 1) Never skimp on your painter’s tape. You really get what you pay for. 2) Always peel off your tape BEFORE the paint is dry, that way you don’t get any flakes stuck and being ripped off your freshly painted wall. 3) ALWAYS keep a damp cloth nearby. That way, if you spill a glob of paint on something you weren’t supposed to, you can just quickly swipe it off. Congratulations on finishing such a mammoth job, Lucy! What an amazing achievement! ❤️
This could not have come at a better time. I’m recovering from an emergency life saving surgery I had to have the other day and I’ve been just having the worst time. Watching this was the first time I wasn’t crying from pain. Thank you ❤️
The stairs look AMAZING!! I felt a physical pain in my stomach when you said the paint had seeped under all the tape.. I am having a very 1 step forward, 10 giant strides back time with my work at the moment but seeing your glowing pride and joy at the end of this really made me look forward to the feeling when I finally get to the end of my metaphorical staircase (hopefully, one day..)! Also loving the symbolism of you telling us you were done from the top of the staircase
Oh Lucy you are just exactly what every 20 something/30 something needs in their life because you keep it real! 👏🏻 my heart went out to you about the paint seeping through, and I don’t blame you at all for being upset!! But you should be so proud you’ve done a Trojan job 🥳
When you say that you don’t know how this happened, and how it is that you get to do these cool things, I want to raise my hand in class and say I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW! It’s because you are delightful and relatable and absolutely adorable.
the only person who's videos as soon as i see i have to stop everything and watch! such a warm and bright personality that you have literally got me interested in paint (on your stairs) drying 😂
You have no idea how much I needed your wholesome stair content today. My morning was making out to be pretty miserable and your video popped up on my notifications and i almost cried😭. Thank you❤️
Stairs so lovely,,,no carpet required! Did a Disney princess tea accompanied by prerelease screening of Princess Diaries when my daughter was young. It was in Hollywood, and, yes, we felt very special...and lucky!
I think the stairs look fab, the colour looks great and even though it’s darker than you expected it probably was the best choice to even out the tones on them. Excellent job Lucy! X
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I almost felt like crying when you were saying about the paint going through the tape, I could just feel the desperation of working so hard on something and things going wrong! If it had been me, I genuinely would have just curled in a ball, cried and given up forever, but you managed to fix it and you persevered throughout this massive difficult job that decorators told you to not even attempt, and look how gorgeous those stairs look now 😭 this is the most inspirational shit ever!
The stairs look absoloutly fabulous!! You should feel so proud of yourself! What an incredibily massive job! Well done! And I find it odd how much I have truly loved and enjoyed watching the transition. 🥂🍾 well done it looks amazing
You did such a great job! They look amazing. I’m so emotionally invested I these stairs now - my heart sank when you were talking about the paint bleeding . So glad you were able to fix it ☺️💜
I felt for you when I saw the white on the stair 😭, rule #1 is always put down drop cloths/plastic/fabric anything because the worst will happen lol! At least in my case, I’m so accident prone. They came out lovely in the end though, so proud of you!
Awesome vlog. The Cruella tea party looked amazing. It's so nice to get a view of London sites. I haven't been back in about 20 years....boo! I love London and have lots of family in the area and also in the Liverpool area. You did an amazing job on the stairs, love the stain color and I literally almost cried when you said the tape failed and that you got paint on the newly stained stairs after all that work!!!!! As I told you on IG -- YOU ARE MY HERO!!!! Can't wait to see the carpet. I don't know if you give yourself enough credit on how handy you are. Like, you are really good at figuring stuff out and doing an amazing job.
The whiskey color seems like a mix between the 2 that you liked. I love it. It's beautiful! Also, those desserts looked so good, but I doubt I could eat them. I have a weird food allergy that makes life as a person that loves food very disappointing. Anyway, I got to say that not seeing Adam in the vlogs now feels very weird, even though he was hardly in them before. So much love to you Lucy! I love the positivity, the perseverance, & the appreciation of the big &small things. The stairs are gorgeous! Great job!!
Stairs comrade ... Congrats they look amazing! I am still sanding spindles on my banister in my never ending stair journey.. It is truly the most tedious task in all of human existence and thus project has been rapidly replanned as half paint half bare wood banister. Embrace the Amish... Full Amish sipping cocktails whilst afternoon teaing is a vibe we all require.
You are phenomenal 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯 Those stairs look fabulous. Damn girl, you are the most determined lady I have ever seen😉☺️ I cannot wait to see the carpet and the totally finished project. I should have known this was coming when you disassembled and reassembled the couch! You are amazing🥰 And I LOVE that denim dress!
They turned out great! Awesome job! Can’t wait to see the final look with the runner. I am still working on my stair redo because I got a little side tracked with the reno of our primary bedroom. Maybe this weekend it will get done, fingers crossed.
AWESOME job! I enjoyed this series so much! the plane wooden stairs look perfectly fine like this already!... the wood is giving me rich and grand energy :D there is no need to cover them up with a carpet in my opinion...
Fabulous job on the stairs! I loved the Fancy tea, we don’t have them available in the US. Thanks for taking me along to the beautiful hotel in London. It was like a Disney fairy tale. Love from Chicago Christel
The stairs look fab! I’ve done that so many times with the paint tape! Apparently you need to take it off within an hr or two of painting for it not to go through.. who knew! But they look lovely xx
That afternoon tea looked divine 🥰 I adored the Cruella film too! 🐕 As for your stairs, you have worked so hard on them and it's paid off loads - LOVE the stain you settled on 😊 although I wish you hadn't had some of the difficulties with them, I'm glad you've been honest about them too. Sometimes it seems like people can just perfectly do things in a small amount of time... it's nice to see realism, and that it still works out well 🤞🏻🖤
Wowww. Nice job! I didn't trust that tape as soon as I saw it. I've used tape before and it broke my trust. You deserved that afternoon tea for all your hard work, and probably a holiday to boot. Xx
Well done Lucy!! I had a similar experience with masking tape, then someone recommended frogtape which worked so much better. Good luck with fitting the runner xx
The stairs look great! Even though was not me who did them, I feel extra appreciative, knowing all the work that went into them/that you did them yourself.
The fact that you did this so by yourself is seriously impressive!! They look gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the runner!!
Never thought id be as invested in a staircase as i have been with this one hehe
Looks lovely Lucy as everything you do. Just an observation why don’t you paint the handrail in the same varnish and then it will look 10/10…
Was about to suggest this,
Was just gonna comment exactly the same thing!

Stairs look so fab!! Love the natural wood tones you have gone for in the house, with a cute retro vibe thrown into the mix!
Ahhh cheers! That’s really lovely of ya 🤩
It was so fun to watch your afternoon tea and hear your critique! I love that you were honest about the desserts.
The stairs look wonderful!
This could not have come at a better time. I’m recovering from an emergency life saving surgery I had to have the other day and I’ve been just having the worst time. Watching this was the first time I wasn’t crying from pain. Thank you ❤️
Im so sorry to hear you’ve been through that! Hope you’re doing okay now, thinking of you xx

OMG I’m so glad I’m not the only one who’s experienced this with painters tape! So annoying 😞 The stairs look amazing Lucy, well done! 👏🏻 😍
It’s the worst!! It made me feel like a total dumbo but it seems to be a common life fail haha x
haha awww when i was watching the taping montage i was thinking "don't trust it lucyyyy" 😭 marvellous save though 🤩
@@LucyJaneWood Frog Tape. Has a special coating to reduce bleeding. ;^)
The stairs are gorgeous!!!! I am so glad you made the decision to strip them. They are amazing and I can't wait to see the runner.
I love how much effort you put into things, nothing is half arsed. Well done, they look sensational!
the only person who's videos as soon as i see i have to stop everything and watch! such a warm and bright personality that you have literally got me interested in paint (on your stairs) drying 😂
They look fantastic! What a testement to your resilience. Gorgeous!

The stairs look really amazing, Lucy! I can't believe they said it couldn't be done!! I bet you're glad you gave it a go ☺️
Jet ski and motorcycle 😂😂😂! I do love your sense of humour 😂 xxxx
I think the stairs look fab, the colour looks great and even though it’s darker than you expected it probably was the best choice to even out the tones on them. Excellent job Lucy! X
What a hard work you've put in this project !!! You've been so brave and so determine !!! And for a good reason: it looks simply amazing !
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I almost felt like crying when you were saying about the paint going through the tape, I could just feel the desperation of working so hard on something and things going wrong!

Never been so invested in a set of stairs before and I’m here for it 😂 they look lush! Can’t wait to see the runner!
Hahaha I really appreciate the investment x
@@LucyJaneWood anytime! You’ve done a fab job X
The stairs look absoloutly fabulous!! You should feel so proud of yourself! What an incredibily massive job! Well done! And I find it odd how much I have truly loved and enjoyed watching the transition.
🥂🍾 well done it looks amazing
I love Gemma hair! Love the color!
You did such a great job! They look amazing. I’m so emotionally invested I these stairs now - my heart sank when you were talking about the paint bleeding . So glad you were able to fix it ☺️💜
I love your sense of humor, started following you around 2017 when I was doing my masters at Glasgow, keep having a good time.
Greetings from Mexico
Only a few minutes in but loving “coming along” for the tea experience! I paused on the menu to read all of the details 😍
I felt for you when I saw the white on the stair 😭, rule #1 is always put down drop cloths/plastic/fabric anything because the worst will happen lol! At least in my case, I’m so accident prone. They came out lovely in the end though, so proud of you!
Wow you’ve done what man said could not or should not be done and it looks sooooo good!! Well done Lucy!! I’m so proud of you!
For future reference you can get paintable caulking and it fills the gap between the stairs and skirting.
Stairs look SO GOOD!!! So much hard work!!
You will always remember how much work they were and YOU did it all!!
Coming home from groceries , first thing my wife and I do is make u fresh cup of tea+ stairs update😂 life in your thirties amiright

Thank you! Kinda feels worth it now haha 🥲
