Site start: 4th Feb 09 Handover: 10th Sep 09 Blog: http://stormygirlscastle.blogspot.com/ Build Thread: viewtopic.php?t=7166 Re: Show us your staircase ??? 3Sep 06, 2013 4:32 pm We have a Victorian Ash staircase with glass balastrade & Victorian Ash handrails. It was quite a significant upgrade, as it was in the display home, my husband fell in love with it. There is a big void above the stairs, which has a David Trubridge pendant that hangs there. I had hoped that it would add a little wow, it's not the first thing you see when you walk into the house, but as you walk past it, it definitely makes a statement, and of an evening with the light on it really stands out. I am glad that we spent the money we did, I don't think standard stairs would have suited us. With the timber, I can either sweep them or vacuum them, I wipe them down with a damp cloth and they will eventually need a touch up with stain as they age, but that's no big drama.

And Stormy , I'd imagine it must have been a pain moving furniture up via those stairs. But yah we dont do that every day!!! Also Smorgzz, even though that's not relevant for this discussion can I see a picture of your stairs with that pendent light , if that's ok? I am a bit obsessed with interiors , even though I still have plenty of time. Trying gt some inspirations around lighting decorations etc. Look forward to see many more beautiful stair cases?

My builder wants to charge me 19000$ for total area of about 170sqm. that too for 450X450 version of the exact same tile. So I was priced out.

We took the main floor tiling and carpets out as the laying charge for 120m2 of 600x600 would have been $12,000 plus the cost of the tiles would have been over our allowance as I doubt we would have gotten them as cheap through the tiling company the builder uses.
