   Depends.  Do you want the stairs to appear part of the first floor, or the second floor?  I would be tempted to make the stairs the same as the first floor.

   This home has a central stairway that is more visible from the first floor.  This client was wondering if it would look strange to have two different wood floors in their home.  I tend to like to see homes with the same wood floor through out but that is me.  I was wondering if any one has run into this before and if so is there a decorating rule that would dictate where to make the transition.  The transition could even be made at the landing which is 8 steps up and not visible from the first floor

   Geez- you really wouldn't like my place- five wood species in the floors and counting!

   What looks the best?  Sh*t- I dunno- ask a decorator!
