Beautiful Staircases

I love staircases that are functional, stylish and sometimes a little quirky. I thought I would share a few pictures with you of my favourites.


We were contemplating putting another level on our house and I started to really study the staircase. There is a lot to consider with the number of treads, whether to have wood or carpet or both, and the balustrades.

If we do decide to stay then we may go ahead and place another level on part of the house. This will provide another two bedrooms and a study. I think I might do my kitchen first. I cant wait to get stuck into that. I think I have found my lights thanks to Cape Cod Designs, and I know who I will use to do the kitchen. I have a fairly large space so it will be fun to see what we can do with it. I was thinking that a fireplace might be nice in this room. We spend our time doing homework and socialising here so I want it to be very comfortable and beautiful.

Love the colour variation on the balustrades. It is not only beautiful but plays on the eye.

Its all about the detail.

You can see from the different pictures that staircases really give you a sense of style about the house.

I love these. Not child friendly.

I love the staircase that features in the US tv show, Brothers and Sisters. I was trying to find a photo of it but couldn't. Again being new to blogging I need to work out how to get every photo I want in my blogs. Sorry.

We have a very busy Saturday. We are going to look at an Auction at 11 then we have to get ready for my mother in laws 70th which is on tonight. My sister in law is having it at her beautiful home. It is going to be a really lovely evening. Yesterday we went to the Flower Markets at Rocklea to source our flowers then the rest of the day was preparing the arrangements. They look very pretty.

Hope you all have a lovely day and a big thank you for the girls who wrote comments. It is very encouraging and I am grateful that you took the time to write.
