Embossed Painted Stairs: Adding a Special touch to a dull area

Sometimes hallways can't always shine the way the rest of your homes decor shines due to the lack of wall space and floor space. These home owners, wanted to add something extra to their hallway, and add some pizazz.
This was an interesting challenge. Since it's an older home in the Homeland area in Baltimore, I didn't want whatever we decided to do, jump out and clash with the style of the home. The final result was to do an embossed painted look, that picked up the banister colors. When you look closer there is a hint of gold to add some light in this somewhat dark hallway.

It was a happy ending for this hallway and an interesting way to surprise any guest when they arrive.
