STEPPING UP
A simple stencil pattern
wraps the risers and treads
on stairs like a carpet
runner. Matthew used
a stencil that was about
3 feet wide and then
reduced the width by
taping off the edges to
create a narrower design.
For best results, he
recommends investing in
stencil brushes and good-quality painter’s tape.
Contributing editor
Matthew Mead’s paint
techniques deliver
a look that’s classic,
yet totally now.
