Lovely. We have steep staircases but that is because our 1910 small basic colonial was designed with New England thrift - steep staircases take up less space.Originally Posted by thistle

Great deal
I have been shopping on FB Mkpl. a lot to finish getting my house just the very things it needs, in the right proportion, style, color, size, etc., at rock bottom prices, which I can do with careful shopping and a bit of driving because we are not so far from many fine towns, in the countryside nearby just outside the big big city where city folk keep their other (fine) houses, and often, becasue they move and redecorate, really big deals can be found.
These drapes with their write-up below are so gorgeous, though I don't have the place for them as I am not using that yellow anywhere, though it's lovely. (Actually I painted our bedroom walls a similar yellow, more powdery, but everything is done in there, with deep velvet eggplant bedspread & shams, and matching deep velvet eggplant with white ball fringe roman shades I made, and pale yellow to darker yellow ombre curtains).
From the ad: "Paid $15,000 for these beautiful floral drapes. (That’s right - $15-THOUSAND!) We are redecorating and sadly they need to go. See the pictures of the doors they one covered. Giving them away for $30.00. There were two drapes covering each door. They opened in the center.. One door was 110 inches wide and the other was 146" wide. Both were hung just over a standard 81" high Door.
Have them sized to your length.
The fabric still looks good."

That didn't even occur to me, the thriftiness of a steep stair. The Victorian villas I admire when out walking are mostly single storey -two storey I see only where the section is very small.
Several of these homes have verandahs trimmed with timber brackets that look like lace... they are beautiful! Nevermind about their function. But I may be veering off topic now (outdoors)
The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

AI but looks good:
There are some really stunning home decor ideas being shared here. And I need the inspiration because I decided to give my bedroom a makeover.
I repainted it a dark blue with the service of Oahu Interior Painting, a local company. Because I couldn't have done it myself, it's too hard for me. The fresh coat of paint completely transformed the look and feel of the room.
Now that the walls look fresh and clean, I'm excited to change up the decor to match the new vibe. I'm considering incorporating more natural elements, like wood accents and plants, to create a cozy and inviting feel. Maybe an area rug or a stylish accent chair. I also love the idea of adding some artwork and decorative mirrors to the walls to give the space more personality and depth.
