One can use that space for an entire room. A bathroom for instance, ha ha. But I know exactly what you mean. I hava an old house that I've been restoring for years. It has only four rooms. I had the idea of making it into an artist's workshop, with one of the rooms an indoor garden. There was no space for a bathroom or kitchen. After working on it for a while, it bothered me so much that I took it all apart and started over. I divided one of the larger rooms so that there can be a tiny bathroom and a kitchen. Like the grungy artist would have minded. Probably he never washes and only eats fish and chips!Megan Schetschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267976778350267276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-67392072443067769762018-04-10T08:58:41.183+02:002018-04-10T08:58:41.183+02:00An angled mirror it will be!

They take up a huge amount of space that could be used for other things, and an unfair amount of time to make too.

It is a great solution and gives you that extra space under the stairs which may compensate for not being able to see the staircase. We all know what a staircase looks like so I think you will have more fun with the gained space. <br />Regards Janineminwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-51346154327864612452018-04-05T23:34:03.772+02:002018-04-05T23:34:03.772+02:00You've come up with a brilliant solution - but...You've come up with a brilliant solution - but it's funny how one thing leads to another.

I am ok with staircases, I even have houses without them but I understand you as I have been there with problems like, no bathroom? it´s not possible! I made a huge terrace and built an entire outside bathroom and shower on my beach house because there was no space inside for it! Well, just saying that I can relate, we are all a bit crazy *lol*. You have found a brilliant solution!!

I think your solution will work really well and will look realistic. It is a shame that you will only see it through an opening...but it adds a lot to the project. Hang in there and keep up the good work.<br />Big hug<br />Giac<br />Giachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823654482564548862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-37872865888501131962018-04-03T10:38:13.102+02:002018-04-03T10:38:13.102+02:00Ha!

So much so that these days I generally do away with them altogether and use the space for something else!<br />As for not being able to see the stairs in your neat resolution, how about a mirror at the bottom of the stairs, which would be visible through the opening, and reflect your staircase in all its glory....?

I think that your new staircase is going to solve more than one problem since you'll GAIN some additional display space along the way- BONUS! <br />I Love Anna's idea of a mirror adjacent to the door for that extra viewing pleasure which might also bounce extra light UP the staircase once you've installed your lights. <br />I'm Really Excited to see what you'll do next because your 3D thinking skills ROCK- <br />YOU GO GIRL! :D<br /><br />elizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944355755953333971.post-53518709883383180642018-04-02T15:11:39.314+02:002018-04-02T15:11:39.314+02:00Anna, you are a genius.
