stairway to heaven


im running out to speak with a class at FIT tonight so i wanted to end the day with a photo that’s been gracing my laptop screen for a few days (after which it will return to my rotating favorites from mattbites). this incredible wooden staircase is part of a south kensington house from UK architects, hogarth architects. oh to live in a home where everything feels (and looks) so sturdy and rich.

Oh! That looks fantastic!

Wow, I really love this. Beautiful shot. It makes me want to curl up in a big leather chair with a thick blanket and hot chocolate.

i love the rungs on these stairs, but think the woodwork below them is cheesey…..

yes, beautiful chunks of oak but kind of lost in all the panelling overkill. Would have stood out more surrounded by a different material, or my fave Cole and Son tree wallpaper

I’ve seen this design in mexico a bit, and loved it, but not great in a household with small kids…..
