What's up with the popularity of "numbers" these days? Obviously, I'm not a trendsetter but I could be deemed a duplicator or maybe you would call me an emulator (one who copies others' great ideas).
Regardless, I've been eyeing my boring stairs for some time now with numbers bouncing around in my head. Hmmmmm.
While on a recent jaunt to Lowe's I came across these.
I really liked the font as well as the finish on them.
So these ...
Became this!
Unfortunately the top set of stairs are yet to be completed as Lowe's ran out of number 1's. I do have a number of other projects on the horizon so stay tuned! Cheers - Lisa
Wow, what a great idea! I love your term "emulator"!!

I am definitely an emulator! I was just looking at stair ideas today myself. Great job with the numbers!

Isn't it funny how some trends just take off? Numbers and letters are definitely popular. And for good reason - they're simple, but smart looking. The black numbers you used punched up the decorative quotient on your stairs perfectly!
