The work both yourself and Ollie have put into the stairs has more than paid off. What a wonderful transformation! It must be a proud moment for you both knowing that for years to come walking up and down those stairs will bring such a great feeling of achievement?
The stairs turned out beautiful. You should be very proud of yourself❣️👍
Fantastic well done its so beautiful great idears you two are truly amazing cant waitto see more
I have never been so satisfied with an ending of a video. Those stairs are a dream!
Rubber tree or palm - instead of console table, I think with the light coming from your new, beautiful window,that would be exactly what that gap needs
Watching that stain go on was so satisfying! ☺️
A-Maz-Ing! So satisfying.
Hi Laura, I think an armchair or chaise would be perfect next to the wardrobes, somewhere to curl up and look out the window and view, everything looks so lovely, I have been following you since your other appartment and its wonderful to see how far you've come!
I must admit, I was sceptical when you said you were going to oil the stairs dark, but now seeing it all come together it looks sooo luxurious and sleek
So do I. My first thought was its a shame to darken the nice wood you have discovered after stripping off the layers of paint. Very nice contrast between is white and the stained wood colour
Put a big beautiful tall plant in a woven basket in the corner. 😊 The hallway looks INCREDIBLE!
Tip for others, if doing paint or finishes on stairs do every other (so odds or evens) so you can still get upstairs then once the first batch are dry and can be used, do the ones you missed, then you're not stuck upstairs/downstairs while they dry
That is simpler beautifully done. Classy
She's BEAUTIFUL! Well done.
Thé music at the end was a cherry on top! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🥰
Oh WOW!! That was worth every hour you slaved on this project. Beautiful!!
What an amazing accomplishment!
I don’t know how you kept going with those stairs Laura, it looked soul destroying! But it was worth it and they look magnificent, well done 🎉
Your videos aren't long enough Laura, espec when it comes to reno work. So much to see and enjoy! Beautiful transformation (Chef's kiss).
Bravo. Your hard work has definitely paid off and you can admire your effort every day you're at home.
Yeah!!! A lovely plant in a basket or beautiful pot would look great for now 🌿🪴
OMGOODNESS the stairs look so so beautiful, I wish you could have seen the expression on my face when I saw that the spindles were in.👍👍👍
Beautiful job Laura, your patience has certainly paid off👍🏻😊
Stunning! I can picture a large vase with greenery or pretty branches at the open corner beside the wardrobe.
YOU FINISHED THE STAIRS!!!! WOOHOOO!! I cant imagine how satisfying it must be to have this job done. They look so great!
Wow wow wow Laura! Amazing work!
what a gorgeous hallway and staircase!
Fabulous job. I know how hard it is. I renovated a similar staircase when we bought our first house. I spent months on it! I worked on it every day while my 2-year old had her rest, and then from the time she went to bed; until my husband came home from work about 2.00 a.m. I know exactly how long it took, because as I started I realised I was pregnant, and finished just before I went into labour. (60 spindles to strip, sand etc....) Staircases are SO hard and labour intensive. NEVER again!!! Your staircase definitely has a more professional finish than mine! Excellent. A staircase is like a beautiful piece of furniture, and the most important part of the house.
Another beautiful job. I'm obsessed with watching your hands when you talk. Such a unique bend in your fingers , so careful, as you speak. Hope You're planning on having babies, this shows how delicate you would be with a child in arms.
The stairs look amazing we'll done that was a tough job xxxx
I have learnt to have a packet of baby wipes next to me when painting - any drips or sploshes can quickly be cleaned up before they become part of the surface. :)
Absolutely stunning. You guys are turning that house into a well loved masterpiece. I also want to say congrats on your wedding. Wishing you and Ollie a beautiful life full of love and happiness.
Brava!Looks gorgeous!!!😍
I can see why it took so long, you meticulously repaired them and conditioned them into a living breathing piece of a home. They are stunning and you should be so proud! 😍
Looks fantastic…. You must feel like a champion for completing that beast of a project 🎉🎉
Bravo bravo!!! It’s simply stunning!!! 👏👏👏👏
Wow you two have done an amazing job. My husband and I refer to you two when we look at houses that need some work. Very inspirational! With a two year old I don't think I have the energy to work like this but the work and detail you put into everything is just amazing!
Gorg! As always - you must be so proud and feel so accomplished!
That must be the most gratifying thing. They are gorgeous!
Beautiful, and yes, it was worth it! Enjoy!
Did you ever think you’d be swooning over a window? 😂fantastic results, Laura you have more patience doing this than I ever could have, well done looks lovely x
How beautiful!
WOW, WOW, WOW ❤❤❤
LOL! 🎉 I can’t believe they’re done!!! The whole hallway looks gorgeous. ❤
I can't wait to see you decorate this space in general, but also for Christmas! I just know you'll put some gorgeous garland on the banisters 😍
OMG Laura it looks amazing you must be soooo pleased. You both work so hard but look at the results.👍😊
Beautiful result!
Looks amazing, you have so much patience 🤍🤍🤍
Fabulous job. Admire you two so much. An older subscriber 😘
That was quite the saga, oh my, but it looks sooo good! It was worth all the hard work! It`s looking beautiful!
I think of all of the projects and renovations you've done, the staircase is actually the one I'm most impressed by. All that work and time put into every single step, all that strenuous repetition, tenacious little nooks and details... You can be so glad to have filmed this as no one would ever have seen just how much work it was to redo these stairs. Congratulations on finishing them - you can be so incredibly proud of yourself!
Such a beautiful job! You have made them gorgeous and classic! A reno that can be enjoyed for generations to come!
Aww finnaalllyyy! I am so proud of you two! the colors OMG looks Ah-maziiing😍🤤 I suggest for to put a plant in front of the wardrobe gonna shift the space up!
Wow absolutely blooming beautiful well done guys 💖
Hi Laura and Ollie! What an amazing result after so much hard work on your stairs. They look stunning and I felt really desperate for you when you undertook that long and painstaking paint peeling and sanding process,as well as the replacement of the sash window.Any faint hearted soul would have given up and brought in professionals to do the job but you battled through it and not only saved yourselves a lot of money but have been able to feel really proud of your achievement! Stunning and huge congratulations on a fabulous staircase. 👏🏽👏🏽🧡🍂🍁
Wow! thought you would never finish... your hard work paid off!
One word says it all 'Beautiful' well done x
Beautiful stairway. Be proud.
Beautiful - well done. So glad they’re finally done. Onwards to the Master!
What an amount of work and you did it perfectly, as always! Congratulations on a newly renovated area in a house!!!!
Amazing, beautiful! Congrats. The transformation of your staircase is an extension of the wonderful fresh and clean look you have given to your Victorian home.
Such a beautiful makeover! 😍
Yippee! You did it! It's been a long slog but they look so beautiful xxxx
Hip-hip hooray for Laura and Ollie! Three cheers for a gorgeous new old staircase! It looks absolutely fantastic!
So beautiful. Well done, Laura and Ollie 👌🏼
yaaay finally!!! Looks absolutely gorgeous!! Great job :)
Amazing!!! The wardrobes down to the window install. Everything is gorgeous. Great job, you should be proud!
Your are both determined achievers, and this is how you've transformed this neglected house into a dream home. Bravo x
They look wonderful! So happy for you both- for what seems like such an arduous job! Love the dark stain! Xxx
I will always follow you both Laura, you are my favourite U-tubers. The stairs look fab, you have great taste xx
Simply, beautiful!
It's gorgeous! Just stunning!
When you paint fresh plaster, the first coat should be really watery otherwise the paint can end up peeling off.
I just love your videos. Great idea about painting the stair balusters it makes it so much easier. The workmanship that went into homes before is just amazing. Ok maybe there are some parts that aren't up to todays codes but the wood, the doors, I'm in such a happy place seeing you bringing out the beauty of the wood. It's magic seeing the stairway completed, you did such a great job.
It looks absolutely stunning! Well done!
It all just looks stunning
YAYY ANOTHER RENO VIDD
