Stair Runner

No more slippery stairs!  We finally got around to purchasing a carpet runner for our stairs.

A few months ago, we showed you our refinished stairs.  While we loved the way they looked, we knew that adding a runner would help us avoid slipping and falling.

So, we went ahead an ordered some berber carpet from Lowes.  It took a couple of weeks after we placed the order for the carpet to be cut and bound, but last week it was ready to be installed.

We’re really happy with how it turned out.  It looks great and it definitely provides some extra grip on our stairs, making them safer.

What brand/colour of carpet did you use? I love it and am looking for carpet for my house.
Thanks,

Hi Amy,
The carpet is a berber loop pile by Gracious Living from Lowes. The manufacturer is Coronet. The colour is Pecan Brittle. Good luck with your carpet!

Very nice! How is the carpet holding up? I just saw it at Lowe's and was thinking of using it in a bedroom. I loved the price!
