Beulah Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looks so elegant, I love stair runners on old homes. It just finishes them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Swearengin Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can you cut the pins off the rug holders and tack them with a spot of glue on each end? I've not used the bar things, but if you have them you should use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amazes me how our members find all these little details on etsy. I might have thought to add a runner but I never would have thought to look for a fancy ribbon on etsy.

My Miniature Madness Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 15 hours ago, miniaddicted said: I bit the bullet and attached my stair runner. Came out pretty nice. I have the Mini Mundus stair rods but attaching them is turning out to be a bear. They have long pins that aren't easily pounded into the stair. Anyone have success with them? So lovely! Probably a dumb question, but did you try pre-drilling the holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Gorgeous! And it will be even more stunning when you get those stair rods sorted out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I did cut the pins off one and glued it. I also contemplated drilling tiny holes. They would have to be very narrow, as these pins also narrow to a point. Like those tiny electrical brads that I long gave up trying to use. Just trying to decide the best method.

Goldenrodfarm Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I watched someone on u-tube predrill tiny holes, put glue on them and use the back end of the tweezers to press them in, she did a whole line of hinges quite fast, I was amazed. But the flat end and pressing them in seemed to be much better then trying to tap them in. Your rods really finish it off well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyfingers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Heidi, looks great!! I'm in the flooring and wallpaper vortex...can't make a decision...again. I think I'll just try out an idea I have for flooring, and if I end up tossing it because it doesn't work, then so be it. That floor's not going to make itself! Also, I have many pages of wallpaper, only a few that will work for this build. Had wanted to do paint for the rest of the rooms, but found MORE wallpaper that may coordinate with what I've got. Buy or no buy? I have a fear of too much pattern, and can't decide which rooms NEED wallpaper....gah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniaddicted Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I fiddled with drilling tiny holes for the stair rods and gave up that idea. Clipped off the ends of the pins, and glued them on. Works for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathieB Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The rods do add a final filip of elegance. I just noticed that the pattern on the ribbon is perfectly spaced for even repetition. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It looks just beautiful. So does the wallpaper and flooring. What did you use for the flooring Heidi? I was thinking of some tiling like that for my entrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did contact her recently and they are all long gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debsrand56 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Excellent work, Heidi! So very pretty! I really like the close-up you gave us. We can really see how beautiful the "carpet" is and how well the stair rods work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
