Now that the walls of the staircase are finished we have installed the lighting, which makes the stairs a bright and attractive place (and safe!), and put the first item in the niche.
This is a late 19th century plough plane - a router for cutting grooves. It was Susan's great-grandfather's and arrived here a week ago.
I am really pleased with the whole thing: walls, niche and lighting. All we need do now is sand and varnish the stairs and that part of the job is finished.Simon

I love the idea of slowly feeding things into and out of the niche... adds interest!
And the stairs look great, too!
WV is "proscrol".... a new add-in for Windows?
Love the idea of the niche being a 'moving feast'. In my experience a niche will have something put into it which only comes out once a year (if then) to be dusted!
Stairway is looking really good.
The stairway is looking great and relly like the idea of a changing display in the niche.
We failed at niches ;-) ours has no light and a permanent display...
Delightful S&S.
Looks terrific! I love the "pierres apparentes' in the stairwell. I like the niche too.
Perhaps I mean a 'moveable feast'?
Gosh that looks lovely. I bet you can't wait to do the sanding and restore your staircase to its former glory....!!
