Stairway to Heaven

The June issue of Elle Decor has an article on staircases which caught my eye & inspired me to compile my own list of some favourite steps.

I love these floating stairs - clean & contemporary & rustic all at the same time. I also have a soft spot for Audrey who always reminds me of my littlest sister, Leah {check out her blog here for tiddlybits of inspiration).

I like the storage underneath these stairs. I have a soft spot for storage & organization products {bins & labels & files, you name it!}:

And these well-worn stairs leading to a secret garden perhaps??

And while driftwood-coloured, weathered wood seems to be everywhere, the stairs in this loft don't seem of-the-moment, but rather perfectly old-world:

What about you? Do you have some favourite stairways to your own private heaven?
