Although we've installed a new staircase, the rest of the landing hasn't changed much yet. We've decided to do the loft conversion before we decorate the landing.

The existing staircase was the wrong way around, that's to say, it would've been impossible to get into the attic as it was. So we removed it . . . landing & stairs 2

The new staircase goes up towards the middle of the house, so when we put another one above it, we'll be accessing the tallest part of the attic. landing & stairs 4
landing & stairs 5All the plaster has been taken off the front wall here - an interesting task, part of which I did by sitting on the upstairs window sill (don't tell my mum...).
Obviously, this area is still "under construction" so there aren't any 'after' photos yet. landing & stairs 6
