Pippa Branham of Liverpool, UK, decided to bring her love for books to a whole different level. She painted her staircase in the most unique way to display her own and her husband’s favourite books.
“It took her quite a while and was a project initiated out of a money saving venture to avoid having to splash out on carpet money [and] fitting money (didn’t trust me to lay carpet on stairs),” wrote Jon, Pippa’s husband in a shared pinterest post. “I think this looks 100x better than any carpet,” Jon continued.
“I used a tonne of masking tape and painted the treads black with gloss and added a small amount of sand to the mix to make a grip,” contributed Pippa excitedly. Pippa then painted each stair’s base a different color and went from there.
The staircase features some pretty strong literary contenders, from Stephen King’s Wolves of the Calla to J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings saga. And, naturally, Game of Thrones undoubtedly made an appearance as well. Her bookwormy glory took over the hearts of many book loves throughout the internet.
