tumblr.com Women have been running down them....... (touch pic if gif isn't working) and being carried up them for ages. Grand Staircases I love staircases, those fabulous bridges between floors. The are usually the first impression that a home makes when guests enter. When we deck the halls during the Holidays, they usually get our utmost attention as we garland, light, and tie them up in beautiful ribbons and bows. We stand on them for family pictures, slide down their banisters, brides descend them, and if you are like me, even fall down them a time or two. The purpose of this post is more about how to decorate staircases in exciting ways. Your staircase may not be as big in size, but it can still be grand in how it's decorated. I have a normal sized staircase that I recently painted in a faux marble treatment. Now it makes a statement and is more impressive. Use art, harlequin patterns, faux stone (see My Faux Limestone Project - July 2012) or marble treatments, paint murals, stencil, use paneling, wallpaper, furniture placement or beautiful runners. It may be on a smaller scale but by all means make your guests say "WOW" when they enter your home. All styles are beautiful to me. I adore simple, primitive stairways. French country entrances with unpretentious yet elegant staircases causes my heart to skip a beat. While this post is dedicated to their grander cousins, stay tuned for a post about them too. Enjoy these architectural beauties from private homes and palaces and be inspired! google.com Muralists can paint beautiful scenes or there are wallpapers you can use to create a look like this. google.com I love the mural painted on the back of this curved staircase.

It's not that hard, just takes time. The end result is well worth the effort! georgianadesign.tumblr.com The perfect place for a piano, or a chaise, or settee. The space NEEDS something! info.asmarainc.com This staircase has the perfect runner for this beautiful entry and the wallpaper really makes this area gorgeous! google.com Intricately carved and painted newels and baluster makes this staircase incredible. google.com I am not sure, but this looks like faux marbling and tromp l'oeil painting on these walls. I faux marbleized the newels, risers and decorative trim work of my staircase and LOVE it. Remember there are so many creative ways to bring the WOW factor to your stairways. indulgy.com L-shape designed stairway with raised paneling and wallpaper. Please no plain white walls ladies! petitcabinetdecuriosites.tumblr.com Freestanding curved staircases have no support from underneath, and aren't attached on either side to a wall.

Kensington Palace You might not have black marble steps like these, but you can still find ways to make YOUR palace more interesting.I painted my steps black in an old home I restored. Then layered coats of polyurethane to seal it good. They were beautiful. lindalumdebono.blogspot.com It you are a fan of wood staircases, this should definitely make you smile!

If you looked at a map and could pick any place in the whole world to live, where would you choose? Maybe you're partial to the sun and sand. Maybe you crave the mountains. Maybe you love a bustling city or the quiet countryside. Whatever it is, we all have our preferences when it comes to a place to live. A few years ago, my husband Michael and I decided we wanted to live in Europe. We traveled there every chance we could, but wanted a way to really explore all it had to offer. In this post, I hope to explain why we chose Heidelberg, Germany, our thought and decision making process, and why I still think this might be the best place in the world to live.

It is often said that St Monans is the church nearest the sea in the whole of Scotland, and this may well be the case, being only around 20m from the edge. The church, one of the finest remaining from the Middle Ages in Scotland, was built by King David II Bruce (1329-71), initially for a small house of Dominican friars. It later became the Church of Scotland parish church. Though the church may never have been finished (it has a choir and transepts, with a short spire over the crossing, but lacks a nave), it has many features of architectural interest, notably the fine stone vaulting in the choir and the plain but handsome sedilia. White-washed throughout internally, the church is particularly light and attractive among ancient Scottish churches.

After our day exploring Bratislava, we headed off towards central Slovakia in search of castles, cute towns and mountains! Our first stop was at Bojnice Castle – 2hrs east of Bratislava by car. When you first arrive, it’s very touristy – the whole walk through the woods to the castle is just lined with sellers trying to sell anything they can (it kind of reminded me of a carboot sale), but don’t let that put you off! Looking like it’s straight out of Disney, it’s Slovakia’s most fairytale like castle, and a must visit if you have a spare day in Bratislava!

The New York Palace (Hungarian: New York-palota) is today a luxury hotel. Built by an insurance company as a company hall, its Café in the ground floor named New York Café (Hungarian: New York kávéház) was a longtime center for Hungarian literature and poetry, almost from its opening on October 23, 1894 to its closure in 2001, to reconstruct it into a luxury hotel, as it is now. The café was also reopened in May 5, 2006 in its original pomp, as was the whole building.
