Stairs at the Thomas Mouland House

http://www.caperace.com

About 100 years of colourful flooring material was taken up from the kitchen of this house located in Bonavista, Newfoundland. While most of it was damaged, we did manage to repurpose it to create an interesting staircase.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Lily Gahagan to Idea of the Week: Salvage Style Steps Up

See these stairs? You'll never guess what they were originally...

added by Becky Harris to Overlooked Design Opportunity: Stair Risers

When this homeowner discovered 100 years worth of linoleum and sailcloth under the kitchen floor, he salvaged enough to cover one stair with each layer.

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: Cultural Adventure in Newfoundland

...this staircase uses all of the layers of the kitchen floor, in order from oldest to newest, from bottom to top.
