"Crossing Boundaries . . . "
 |
| From House & Garden's "Book of Style" |
Greetings,
Stairs. A simple mathematical balance between 'rise' and 'run.' But a mysterious architectural feature. The strict border between the public spaces - and the more private parts of the home. The formality of an entryway - giving way to quiet rooms meant for slumber. The stairwell offering slight glimpses of the unknown personal rooms. So they can serve as a barrier - but can also be an invitation. They're almost flirtatious.

Romancing the stairs...this is the month of wine, chocolates, roses, sweet whispers, stolen kisses, glimpses and glances. Passion...I heart it! Great post.
