STAIRCASE PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE BOOKS

Alan Meghrig forwarded this item from Mashable about a book nut who painted her staircase to look like her favorite books. Thanks. Pretty cool. -Editor

Stiarway of books Sometimes, displaying our most beloved books on a shelf just doesn't cut it. And when it comes to doing justice to the extent of our bookwormery, loud and proud is the way forward.

Pippa Branham of Liverpool, UK, decided to go all out with her love of books and paint her staircase with her and her husband's preferred reads.

In a Reddit post, Pippa's husband, Jon, wrote about her masterpiece, which was inspired by a Pinterest post.

"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.

"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," Pippa told Mashable.

Pippa then painted each stair's base a different color and went from there.

Now imagine that with numismatic books. A stairway to Heaven! -Editor
