My stairs are the only part of my house with installed carpeting, and it's a dreadful brown all-purpose disaster. It would, of course be simplest to just pull it up and recarpet or finish the wood; however, I live in military housing and I'm not allowed to make that drastic a change. I'm not even allowed to paint the walls (hoorah for sheer fabric, lathing strips, and finishing nails!). Countless people have lived in this house since it was built, and I'm a little afraid of what's under there. Does anyone have any tips for covering it or making it livable? Thanks.
