The Count Is On

how fun are these steps?
i always love seeing what people do with an ordinary pair of stairs
reminds us how everything could use a lil flair to it!

{shabby chic-ish, no?}
{makes me think of lil kids feet running up in joy}
{people who live here HAVE to be fun!}
ever since i can remember - i count the stairs when i go up or down - not every time of course - but to this day i still catch myself counting as i climb ..

ANYONE ELSE COUNT THEIR STEPS?!?!

Ps - remember that faux fur vest i showed you i got? - i'm wearing it today - and *augh* driving me insane - it's sorta' itchy and well just annoying *blah* - i feel like i'll be eating faux fur with my breakfast and lunch :o(

    Ha! I still catch myself counting stairs too! This is a great way to teach little ones how to count, wish I would have thought of it years ago!

    How fun...I like to see people enjoy their home and make it their own!

    Cheers!

    At our old house the basement was finished and a walk out which lead to the pool. I had stenciled the names of all our favorite beaches on them. It was so much fun! (Of course I am loving the yellow)! xo

    Very cool, I really like that - maybe a message per step in different font would be cool too.

    these are super cute -- but probably not good for the lingering OCD in me. :P

    Those steps are awesome! I definitely count steps...and I won't notice I'm doing it until I get to the top! Have you ever climbed the Eiffel Tower where thankfully they count the steps for you?!

    So cute! I love the numbered steps! Although living in a two story house for most of my life, at some point I stopped counting. ;)

    i totally counted my steps as a kid and into early adulthood b/c i was scared of having to go in the basement...and to the school bus. i knew the exact amount of steps to and fro for each.

    not sure i should have admitted that...

    and sucky about your vest. the last thing you need is the feeling of a mouth full of fur!!

    xo,

    I have to climb 116 stairs to my sixth-floor walk-up! I think that would be a little too scary to count each day...
