Ours still looks great! So crazy that people say that! Ours hasn’t stretched at all and still fits nicely on the stairs!

So I saw this post MONTHS ago, tracked down the rug and waited months for the back order to arrive. (You guys are popular!) It finally came in and now no one will install this for us because they said the cotton doesn’t have enough stretch and/or the carpet will ripple. Have you guys experience this at all?? We don’t dare try to install ourselves, but can’t find a pro to help!
Thanks so much!

Sadly they all have VOCs but we found the polyshades to be a lot less fumey than the regular Minwax stains (still stinks when it goes on but dries and the smell stops more quickly). Hope it helps!

I have thought about painting and staining my railing for some time. Was that particular stain a low VOC product? Did you find the odour to be too much? I don’t know if there is such a thing as a NO VOC stain, do you?

The consistency of the stain we used was pretty thick and we taped off the white spindles while we stained so if anything dripped it would have hit the tape first (we wiped anything that did) which seemed to keep them clean!

I love the whole look!

I desperately need to do that, but I’m unsure on the best method – brush, foam brush, etc? It just seems like a daunting and tedious job! :)

Any advice greatly appreciated!
