TOP 20 - #9 - Open Stair Case - Update

I Love the Open Staircase in our Rome!
It leads us upstairs to the wide open foyer that leads us to either the master suite side or the guest bedroom/loft side of the house.  I, also, love the width of the staircase because it affords for leaving plenty of space to carry large pieces of furniture upstairs.   I love how open it feels too.  It's not cramped and the rooms are spaced far from one another.  You know how you can have a bedroom next to another and can hear the noise from the other room whether it's a television or people talking etc. Well, this floor plan is set up different so that there isn't any noise interference.  
My husband has been doing a fantastic job hanging the pendants, chandeliers and fans throughout the house.
I could not wait until he hung this one in our foyer.  It is unique and it looks fantastic.  **I forgot to mention I had my eyes on this chandelier for months and waited for the price to be reduced.  It started out as $2189 to $1899 to $1599 to $929 and finally to $525--MAJOR SCORE!!*** He also hung the mirror on this wall which was not an easy JOB!  It is a very heavy mirror and the box said do not hang on the wall but he got creative and created a way to hang it securely!  

GREAT JOB, RICK!

    1. Thank you Asia! It is very odd but I LOVE the uniqueness with the rope and crystals. It would not be most people's first option but I LOVE how grandiose it feels in the foyer? How are you coming along with your DECK?

    2. i think the uniqueness makes it! they start doing the footings tomorrow morning. so over this process. seriously when you are ready if u haven't already done so, start the process early. we signed the contract last weekend in june, took our HOA ALL of july to approve and then another 3 weeks or so to get the permit from the county (not to mention the county messed up on the drawings so they had to go back. i'm being told i'm impatient, i can live with that. but i waited all summer for something i wanted in the summer that just didn't happen. we are told by the company it will take about 5 days to complete. wish me luck!

    3. WOW! I hear you because the summer is just about done! They are building a deck over here on a Avalon and its's going up pretty fast with a team of three men. I was told the HOA moved quicker than that; however, I see differently! Maybe they received an influx of requests. Sorry, they have taken so long because I would be feeling just like you! How exciting to see the construction starting on your DECK! I will be so happy when we can get our's started! Can't wait to see your pictures!
