Hi Everyone!! I have been working on this transformation for the past few weeks and I hope you love it as much as I do! If you have a similar staircase and want to update it comment below! I'll answer any questions you have :)
Awww... I can only hope my little 2yr old grows up to be as gifting like this to her parents 😘🥰 so sweet they raised a beautiful thoughtful loving daughter that just keeps giving x
And then on top of that you filmed it all, edited it all, did voiceover for it all! As an editor, I can tell this was a LOT of work as well. I’m impressed!
Oh my goodness! Wow! I love how the staircase looks! You're right, when it's done, you can't even imagine it being orange before. You are so talented and dedicated! That was an amazing video!!! Thank you!
Oh my goodness that was a big job but so satisfying, i just got my mom hooked on your videos a few days ago, told her you posted about doing this and she couldn't wait to see it. You are amazing at what you do, you have a gift and a lot of patience. Great job Kristen!!!
I always love watching your parents' reactions!! You do such a fantastic job and you can tell they are genuinely impressed and proud of you every time! Warms my heart :)
I absolutely love how proud your parents are. They give you so much deserved praise and recognition for your brilliant work. Beautiful to see ❤️. You did such an amazing job on this update!! Haha I can see your parents just sitting on the couch with a cup of tea staring at the staircase now 😂☕ so cute
That's what I was thinking. They allow her to do what she wants to do to the family home to help her further her career path. It's absolutely wonderful. And she so talented!
Gosh, you have so much patience to finish a project like this. I'm a great starter but not so great at finishing even the smaller projects. ...and your parents are adorable! You can tell how proud they are of you and your work ethic!
Amazing job Kristen! I love how your staircase looks now, so elegant! The carpet looks brand new. You have really inspired me and will try to paint my kitchen cabinets.
I love all your Reno’s so far! But, I love that you have been working hard doing all these Reno’s for your parents...I know how happy that must make them! Making their home beautiful, amazing. You’re a great daughter!!! So thoughtful!
Your mom and dad's reaction is so precious, they're so lucky to have a good daughter like you. Ggrrrrreat job on the staircase makeover, hehe! (Can't getover your dad's accent, lovit!)
Kristen, can I please say a huge THANK YOU. You inspired me to buy some paint and finally paint my staircase. I followed all of your steps, and it now looks so much better than it did five days ago when I watched your video. I also feel really proud of myself that I had the courage to do it all by myself. Now onto the skirting boards in the hall and landing... THANK YOU xxx
Kristen! This is a remarkable video. I would have never, ever, ever thought of painting a staircase. How creative of you! I always look forward to your mom’s excitement and loving reaction toward you. Your father reminds me so much of mine. Very very kind man. Your parents are truly darling.
Love this, turned out great! I did a stain on our stair case in our old house, I know what it’s like to sand and stain alllllll of the details in allllll of those spindles. It’s a job! Great work!
I redid our banister too. It took me 5 weeks. 33 spindles to hand paint. Prep work, 2 coats primer, 3 coats white paint and 2 coats of poly. We have a cat that likes to use them as a scratching post. Naughty kitty. But love how it turned out. If you want to take this project on, you can, but be prepared for the tedious work and time it takes! Looks good Kristen! You knocked it way faster than I did!
Your parents are so fortunate to have such a visionary, detailed and persistent daughter. It really ties into the rest of the house (the flooring, the walls, the rest of the house.) Great job!
Well done Kirsten! What an epic project and your parents are so thrilled! Thay little faux landing is screaming out for some handing plants. Your videos are such a highlight for me! Can't wait to see the big bathroom makeover now 🤭
You have great patience! This video shows the results of detailed work. Very few are 'this good' sticking out the many days this took. Great planning. Beautiful result. And ignore any downvotes! Those are trolls that aren't happy about life 😊
YAS girl! Been waiting for the notification for this video! I’m only a few minutes in at this point but I can already tell it’s going to be amazing from the thumbnail alone! 👏🏻
I just saw this and it is exactly what I was looking for. I loved all the detail you provided, recommendations on products to use, and best of all, the absolute elegance of the finished staircase! You are the best daughter, and your parents are adorable. Thank you! ❤
I had to watch this video all over again. You have so much talent. I love that your parents trust your instincts. You are something rare and special.🎇🎆🎇🎆🎇
When you said you were staining and painting I was kinda hesitant not that I don't think your Amazing I just didn't realize how much it would transform the space it's absolutely beautiful ❤️ great job 👍
I continue to be impressed by the tremendous amount of hard work you put into these projects. There's no doubt in my mind people would happily pay you to design & remodel their spaces. It looks fantastic!
Just discovered your channel. It's awesome to see your parent's reactions. So cool of them to let you do this, and I'm sure they appreciate it. Good for you for giving back to the people who raised you!
Love it! I love that you've helped with your parents place so much during quarantine I'm sure they really appreciate it. When do you think you will go back home though?
Few yrs ago I did my railing using general finish gel stain and loved the results but did not paint the spindles which is off white. You have inspired me to tackle this dreaded job. Thank you for all your tips. You have lovely parents.
I was looking for a way to redo our staircase. Found this video. Huge help for me being Scottish as I had no clue how to source the various paints in the USA. Then at the end of the video I realized your Dad is also Scottish! nice paint job overall! I will be doing the same shortly. Thank you!
You have the patience of a saint! I hate painting SO MUCH I almost couldn't watch the spindle painting. So much effort and it turned out beautifully. Really shows off how lovely that staircase is. Well done!
I really like your editing style of time lapse with voice over. I didn’t feel like I needed to skip through the video to get to interesting parts. Really nice video, thank you!
Oh Kristen, I wish I could adopt you but no parent of sound mind would ever give you up! Great job on the staircase makeover. I have exactly the same wood on my stairs but I don't have the energy and patience to do everything you did. You're an inspiration.
I am just so impressed with how detailed you are! You have incredible patience and a great eye! Also your parents are fabulous. I have to say, and I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but I absolutely love your father’s accent. I could probably listen to him all day.
You are very talented and amazing person. DIY is not easy specially if you're doing them manually. You're not only a great influencer, but a legit inspirator and motivator. Thanks for sharing your talents. Take it easy though and stay well.
Its not everyday I get to hear that accent! Great work with the stairs. Your parents are lucky to have you and you are blessed to have them as well. Parents are usually stubborn when it comes to change.
Hi Everyone!! I have been working on this transformation for the past few weeks and I hope you love it as much as I do! If you have a similar staircase and want to update it comment below! I'll answer any questions you have :)

Wow! You weren’t kidding when you said this was a tedious job! But so worth it! It looks beautiful! 😍
not an exaggeration at all! LOL just gotta put some music on and get to work
And then on top of that you filmed it all, edited it all, did voiceover for it all! As an editor, I can tell this was a LOT of work as well. I’m impressed!
But the joy from your sweet parents must’ve made it all worth it X100. 🥰 Tell them we thank them for letting us join this process. 💛

I use to do things like this when I lived at home. My mom never appreciated my work. You are very lucky to have such supportive parents!
