I have a similar splayed staircase but.... - The bottom most step of the staircase extends into a 3 feet wide doorway to kitchen (no door) - just like this pic. It seems the doorway here is quite wide so the jutting step can be avoided...what would you suggest should be done in my case? »
I'm in love with this traditional home's understairs phone nook, if only for its nostalgia. It conjures up lazy and long afternoon calls to a faraway friend. A dedicated area for phone use is a rarity today, when many people lay their heads on fluffy pillows right next to smart phones that blink and vibrate throughout the night.
