We've got a *case* of stair envy.
Pippa Branham considers herself crafty, but she recently put her DIY skills to the test by transforming her plain old staircase into a veritable masterpiece.

"For the first time ever, I was allowed to really personalize my so I wanted to do something different," Branham told BuzzFeed. She found a picture showing stairs painted to look like books on Pinterest, and set her mind on making it happen. "It was just an image I saw," she added. "There were no tutorials or instructions," so much of it was up to her imagination.
Spoiler: Her imagination served her well. Branham painted 13 stairs to look like her and her husband Jonathan's favorite books, and the finished product is incredible.

The planning process involved researching the best way to keep the stairs safe, which meant "mixing a small amount of children's play sand in with the paint to stop it from being slippy."
After buying emulsion paint tubs and tubes of matte and silk paints — all on sale, no less — she set to work.
