Step by Step

110



Stairs, like people, come in all shapes & sizes and can be "dressed" in many ways:



23


These dramatically wide steps taper off to a more narrow staircase. The border of the runner creates a pathway.



33


Very graphic railing and I love the black and white contrast.



53



Decorative tile work adorn these risers.



62


This nature inspired runner "grows" up the stairs.



72


Yet another black and white, zebra striped runner and black & white photographs with white floors and black baseboards and railing.



82


Stenciling poetic words on your steps gives you something to read on the way up...



92


A built-in bookcase conceals the staircase behind and makes good usage of a corridor.



102


A contemporary staircase descending from the second floor to the first floor.



113


A clear glass partition like this helps make any narrow space feel more open, especially good for compact staircases.



123


Another contemporary staircase of steel and cables - love the water fountain under the stairs!



133


Very very clever to make drawers out of steps!

It was the black cat that got my attention - and I bet he loves these stairs!



152


Not a flight of stairs I would want to take after a few too many drinks or wearing high heels - narrow, steep, and uneven - but love the old world feel and painted runner.



163


Another hand painted runner - this to match with the front door and entry!
