Sand and paint stairs

Ugh...good luck. That's going to be a nightmare. I redid my kitchen cabinets -- sanding and whitewashing. That was bad, but at least I could move them (mostly) outside.

Why don't you just get new doors, instead of trying to paint over dark with light. Home Depot has the fake wood-look doors for like $25 a piece.
