Today I have had a sort out day. A sort out of all of my clippings and tear sheets collected over the years (transported back from London to Australia - thank you Greedy) of all the fabulous houses, chairs and stairs I have been attracted to. I couldn't believe how much my taste had changed. Many of the images I had saved when living in the UK were of grand European houses complete with gilded ballrooms and 40 setting dining rooms. Unfortunately the convicts did not think these necessary out here and the most we generally get here is an informal and formal dining room and a terrace to have a boogey on, so alas while alot of them are still very beautiful they are rather redundant in my designing criteria. The one area which I find I have remained rather loyal to taste in all continents is that of the stairwell. Here I will share a few of my favorites with you, some designed for those wonderful proportions and glamorous lifestyles of yesteryear and others for our urban terraces of today.
