The Stairs

Our big indoor project for this year was moving the staircase to the basement, perpendicular to where it is currently situated.  The stairs were in the kitchen and it looked more like a bar than a staircase. See picture below.

In addition to the questionable location of the stairs, the construction of the stairs also left a lot to be desired. The height of the steps where completely variable from 6 inches up to 11 inches and the head room left a lot to be desired. By moving the stairs, we've opened up the kitchen, because we clearly needed more space :-)

 

Bar like railing is gone.
