Thank-you, Thank-you Vincent for sending me these wonderful pictures of staircases, all formatted and ready to go! My computer's been on the fritz for two days now, and suddenly sprang to life a few minutes ago, just when I was ready to jump into bed. Thanks to Vincent Waller I have something I can put up tonight to prove that I'm not dead.
What a pity to have to rush through these photos! I love the idea of having a real tree in the living room (above). It would proably be a delivery system for ants and weevils that want to get into the house, but sacrifices need to be made for the sake of beauty. Is this tree still alive? I've heard of trees that thrive even when the center's been cut out.
Very nice (above), but it appears that the steps don't take you all the way up!
A terrific idea (above) for saving space!
Iron railings work great on stairs (above).
Good place to put CDs (above), though I'll bet the owners forget to close the lids and walk on them.
A necessity (above)! Every house needs a built-in sliding board!
Here are stairs (above) that are deliberately hard to use. For such a house I recommend second floor hallways like the one below.....
...hallways (above) that are also deliberately hard to use.
Holy Cow! Stairs (above) that look like a piano keyboard!
Hmmmm...doesn't work because the book shelves have to be unnaturally deep so they can double as stairs. Interesting thought, though!
