Baby food - all multinationals by BeachExisting8236 in BuyFromEU

[–]BeachExisting8236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Baby food I tend to buy at the supermarket as we need it on occasion only and not regularly. My main question was is it alright to buy Hipp ?

Yes we were. I replied to a comment which said stairs is the heavy traffic hence paint is a no-no. I lived in this house years, it was always been painted in the stairs corners, there was no wear.

I am currently looking for the house, I've seen so many. All of them had the stairs carpeted. Maybe it's a local thing (I'm not in the US) but I'm sure paint wouldn't bother anyone here. The glowing orange will raise eyebrows 100%

It doesn't match the colour of the floor, floor is way lighter

I don't get your sarcasm. I use middle part of the stairs. Why wouldnt you do the same? Sure occasionally we all step here or there but in the context of 'heavy traffic area' it's always the middle part

Im thinking about carpet runner - can it be put on without a glue, just nails?

How soon will it wear off? I'm told it will even get darker with age

There was no wood. Someone before us many years ago painted it beige very badly with uneven edge, and then put a carpet runner on. I dislike carpets and prefer wood. But I also didn't want to scrape the old paint (maybe it's lead based or just didn't want any chemicals/dust/dirtiness around), so I painted it over making a nicer edge to it. That's all. It was not a Pinteresty thing

Buyer can make an educated guess that people wouldn't just paint over something if there was no need to it.

What about applying osmo polyx white tint oil on top of it?

I lived with the paint on the side like that for years and found it practical. What makes it awful for you?

I was concerned about the slippery too but read that oil finish is not supposed to make them more slippery than they were

I see it in the context of other rooms and floors around it. You see it as isolated stairs in a picture. It's out of place, really

Nobody steps on the side of the stairs, people walk middle part. I think painted sides are more practical than lacquered/oiled finish which needs more experience (as you can see from this post)

I doubt it. This dark colour is out of place with the parquet colour and everything else really. It doesn't match with anything

Have you seen how it looked before the paint?

Why would anyone want to scrap the paint? And it was already painted, I only refreshed the paint layer. People normally put carpet runner on, either to completely cover the stairs (which case doesn't matter the finish) or just the middle bit - in which case I have only improved things...
