Happy Stairways

I am head over heels in love with this entryway. Right now, the stairs in my house are either covered in carpet or made out of tile, but I love these painted stairs with a very Orla Kiely type pattern, so unexpected and pretty. The banister is beyond amazing! I mean, look at that, you just don't find that kind of detail in the new construction homes down here in Florida.
In terms of color choices, I love how they offset the red pattern with a cool bluish-grey on the front door and in the little accent chair in the background, and while they kept that amazing banister a deep mahogany, I love how they kept the wood plank floors a natural color.
This entryway makes me smile!
