Fabulous Staircase Scenes From The Movies
When we were house hunting, and looking for our dream home, we visited a house that, although it needed a lot of work doing to it, had one dream feature, a pair of beautiful staircases that were joined by a landing large enough for a feature table. It was a stunning feature, one that had me thinking of all those classic movies where the heroine sweeps down the stairs with all eyes on her, the height of drama and beauty.
