Dark Chocolate Stairs

Suzanne Bagheri - The Painted Drawer Collection gave her stairs a makeover with General Finishes Dark Chocolate Milk Paint.   Suzanne says, "It is a very deep brown and won’t show any dirt. The risers and side trim were given a fresh coat of bright white semi-gloss paint. It took three coats of the Dark Chocolate milk paint to fully cover the treads. After they dried, I touched up where the white risers met the dark brown treads. This was the difficult part because the caulk application in the joints made it very difficult to paint a straight line. It took a lot of touching up between the white and brown to get the joints looking good. I then used General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in satin. This was applied twice using a foam brush. The dark chocolate (I believe) adds a more sophisticated look to our foyer. "
