I know we’ve made it big when we buy a house with stairs. Still, there are many of you who prefer ranch-style dwellings, sans the second (or third) floor trekking, but, for me, it’s all about this grand feature and focal point in a home that, with the right creative “eye”, could have you and any guest taking a stairway to heavenly decor.
