stairs + painted runners = artistic masterpieces

I slipped in the stairs today, which made me think that it would be great to have a stair runner – nothing boring but something great with stripes in red or shades of pink or similar. So I started browsing runners, but got sidetracked and found all these cute and cool painted stairs and runners.

They are absolutely fantastic – some fun and funky, other artistic masterpieces and  tour guides to wonders of the world – and all of them definitely a result of lots of tears and sweat!

Looking for sweet love

…And finally, one actual stair runner so that I cannot say I got completely sidetracked: certainly not what I had in mind, but this fits the “funky” theme:
