Bedroom stairs - detail
When Lyssa and I went to the Art Institute when she came for a visit last October, we naturally saw the Thorne Miniature Rooms first. In one of the fine bedrooms, there was a perfect tiny staircase. :] I already had a vague image in my mind of how to address the problem of my floating door, but this helped solidify the idea.
I like how the top step is even with the door...as though it were a continuation of the floor on the other side. This makes sense to me, so that one doesn't open the door and immediately fall down a drop off.
I built my stairs from foam core board and basswood, then stained and painted to match the flooring and trim. They are exactly that sort of vintage detail you often see in old houses.
