Round and round…




I have been painting the spiral staircase which leads up to the loft….OMG it takes forever and it will need 2 coats! Eventually it will be ripped out and replaced with another one but for now we will have to make do with a paint job ( I don’t like it and it has seen better days, it actually isn’t made that well). The grey paint matches the flooring I’m having very well.

    That looks back-breaking. Make sure to take frequent liquor and chocolate breaks to regain your strength.

    A spiral staircase was a childhood dream of mine 🙂 Great choice on flooring! I have the same in my kitchen and office, only black. Bit of a mistake… Every little bit of dust shows. Should have chosen grey. Other than that, I love it.

    Good choice going for grey, that is what we used for our main stairs and it works brilliantly (even with very fluffy cats!).

    How are the stairs from a practical level? We are thinking of having the loft coverted and a spiral seems like the best option for us, I just dont know anyone who has one …

    Raina, I can’t wait till I can have a glass of wine up in the loft while admiring my floor….at last!
    Good to know that the grey flooring and paint are a good choice. The flooring will be here by friday this week…eeeeek!

    I always longed for a spiral staircase and when we walked up the first flight of stairs and saw it we were shocked to see it and the fact that the flat had a second floor!!!
    It certainly had a bearing on buying the flat.

    Elaine, the stairs are about 23 years old (installed when the flat was built) and they have seen better days. They are a bit dated and ideally we would replace them but it was new stairs or a new kitchen! LOL!
    They are great because they take up very little room although I did fall down them last year carrying two full paint trays!!!
    Not a good look by the time I had reached the bottom!

    I have actually found old pics today of the flat when we viewed it and when we first moved in (I’ve been looking for them for ages), I will be posting them soon…it’s shocking!
