I think they charge by square foot? I can't remember but Alex seems to think it's by square-footage. We just got an estimate but the installer guys would have to come out and measure before giving us a real price. :)

I am obsessed with the striped runners, too! Although I'll probably end up picking something plain jane. ;)

I like pictures 3 and 4, but when I saw pic 5 on your pinterest, I really liked that one at first. It's best to get something (especially with fabric that is going to have a lot of wear, like couches, too) that isn't a solid ( they show wear stays immediately) and isn't really light - obviously. So, that's why I like 3 and 4 - won't show dirt as much or wear. But then again, I would have to make my final pick in person. I love stairs and these runners make me so anxious to decorate...;)

Happy choosing...;)

Hi! How is Cooper?

I'm just jealous of your wood stairs in general! And I'm with ya on the workers messing stuff up, I had no idea I would have to repaint every bit of door casing and baseboard trim in our downstairs because of all the stain they got on it when they were redoing the floors. Urgghhhhh!

The runner will be awesome for sound proofing...especially when mini-Coop is taking a nap...trust me, you will learn to do anything to keep it quiet so that they will sleep longer:)

So glad you liked the blog make-over...thank you again!!!

I have seen too many beautiful wooden floors ruined by dogs. Laminate is cheaper and more durable and looks like the real thing. But if you already have wood, protet them. Love the striped runner.

Oh boy such big decisions. I am partial to the stripes! but knowing me I'd just go with a neutral runner.

You could easily install a Dash and Albert runner on your stairs. It would be inexpensive and give you that look you are after. (not just saying this because I sell them).

Such pretty pics! The last one is a Dash and Albert runner. I have that exact pattern in a small area rug. I love those stairs that are painted white, but it must be quite a task to keep clean, even with a stair runner.

we're going through the same thing with our dogs right now. i'm looking into maybe a black stripe for our place? i dunno.

I love the inspiration pics and I noticed that all have a darker beige in them, I'd go with the darker one from the carpet place. That way you won't have to worry about it showing the dirt from cute little paws:)

dogs secretly rule the world. I would hate to have my dog running up and down bare stairs too. I'm hoping to get a super stylish runner soonish too. I'm hoping that the striped ones become more available. I always see great pictures in design mags/blogs but not so much IRL.

Thanks so much for this post! I am in the same boa...

Thanks so much for this post! I am in the same boat with my stairs. Honestly, when I see that photo of your stair, I'd swear it was mine!

Oh I love those inspiration picks. Our foyer stairs could use one too. Do they just charge by the number of stairs?

Those are all great inspiration photos. The striped one really caught my eye for some reason... typically not my style but I am diggin' it. You are def going to want a runner for when little Cooper gets older. You will be nervous about him walking/climbing down those slippery stairs.
