The stairs going into my house have been treacherous ever since I put them in last fall to avoid having to jump down three feet into the house. I had considered finishing them with mud, but a friend of mine suggested that I make them out of wood and hinge the stairs for storage space. Great idea! They're not finished because I think I might like to shorten their width so that there's more floor space on the left-hand side by those red bags. Meanwhile, I'm waiting to see before I make them permanent by sheathing the sides, bottom and back with wood.
You could make them permanite, and have drawers under the risers. I'll bet you could fill them with shoes. The bottom one would hold a lot.
ReplyDeleteHey Lou,
DeleteThanks for the great idea. I had planned on hinges which never seemed quite right but the drawers sound excellent. I'll put pictures up when I come to that. Thanks!
