Stair Landing With a Lot of Heart
Sliding barn doors and a skylight open up vistas in this farmhouse cottage.
This small landing opens up to reveal how this small cottage uses spaces in inventive ways. When the two sliding barn doors are open between bedrooms, the bedrooms seem to run the length of the floor. A skylight above throws light onto the plaster staircase wall.
