I debated a bit about this, but I decided that the black would show up the best.<br /><br />We used regular old painter's caulk, nothing fancy. Both the sides and the back of the steps were caulked. You might be able to skip the caulking step if your stairs are in good condition. Ours are old & were not in the best condition.<br /><br />Good luck!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00919946471260198201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968366178250291227.post-49477327119073790722013-08-30T17:12:42.139-04:002013-08-30T17:12:42.139-04:00Love this and am going to do it!!
