How does one decorate a stairwell? Surely there are plenty of opinionated camps on the matter, but our recent home tours boast staircases that have one thing in common: simplicity. When in doubt, aim for good bones (and classic wrought iron balusters.)
Down south in New Orleans, the
Logan Killen design team rehabbed an early 19th century home in the French Quarter back to it's original grandeur, complete with exposed brick walls and faintly painted wood floors.

Speaking of French design and architectural overhauls, Lonny readers were taken on a
virtual home tour of your not-so-average fixer-upper in the French countryside. Though in the midst of an extensive remodel, Pinners still swooned over
Chateau de Gudanes' grand staircase, neglect and all.

Our tour de staircase ends just a stones throw from our office in a perfect Greenwich Village townhouse designed by
Katie Martinez . Black, white, and a piano? It doesn't get much better than that.
