Entryways and staircases - basics that should not be ignored

Staircases and entryways are something most of us have in our homes yet so many people overlook them when decorating their home. If you are one of them, or are just bored with yours, hopefully you'll find some inspiration below...

Okay, so really I just love the dog bringing the watering can...so cute!!

It must be so wonderful to open the door at the end of the day to this large, sparse entry.


The wall paper is a bit much for me, but the architecture of the stairs is beautiful, and the painted underside is interesting as well



I like over-sized round tables in foyers.

Stairs....

If I ever build a cottage on our beach, I envision a spiral staircase leading to a loft that overlooks the lake. I'm sure it won't be as elaborate as this one, but hopefully it will impart the same character. The sculptural quality of this staircase, an antique that the owner happened upon as it was being unloaded onto a pier, is mesmerizing and makes you want to run to the top to see where it leads.

A lovely white and bright Swedish home

This winter is so dreary and blah. It doesn't help that I've been stuck on the couch with a cold all week. Here's a bright and cheery pick me up for all of you out there who are feeling like me.



The spiral staircase acts as a room divider

Great home office!
