Brae, The staircase is phenomenal. The use of plastrux to create the right sort of tread was brilliant, as was the use of eyelets for the railing. You have a knack for the details which is why the finished product stands out! One question: what camera do you use? The use of a good camera clearly gives proper homage to your work.

Amazing! I wish I could shrink myself down to fit in there and climb those stairs :-)

Hi Brae, It's so perfect and just seems to flow so easily belying how difficult it really was for you to build. Wow! So impressive. I think my favorite part is the elegant upper railing. So beautiful. It all looks so realistic. Susan

Wonderful! At first I thought it was a real building, then I read it was made of beads, jewelry findings, etc, ... Very beautiful! Marit

It is fabulous. I want to do a smaller spiral staircase in my Timeless Toys. Your post will give me an idea of how to go about it.

Thank you, Brae! This is so very well explained. It's insane the amount of work you put into this. It must have taken hours and hours of arduous work. Those stairs are sheer genius!

I've been going through your blog again after a long time hardly seeing any blogs, but what a lot of work you've done! I love all that your doing with the brownstone, very nice plans you have there. And then I went further back and just have to compliment you on these stairs (the whole project, but those stairs are especially great!). You make wonderful things and I always look at what you make with great pleasure!

Hi Brae I was looking for a spiral staircase to use in my "Bunkie" and couldn't find one so I am making my own and then I discovered your "blog'. It was a great help in finishing up what I had started. Great work. Liz

I have just bought a nearly complete Dollhouse kit, I think someone just got fed up of trying to complete it. It has a Hansard roof at the very top, which I have now hacked in to, I wanted a spiral staircase for this section, but did not know how to do it, after seeing this post and the detailed instructions I am starting the stairs quite soon, I love your Lighthouse, I have a 'thing' about them too.

Just read this tutorial for spiral stairs! You did a fantastic job! I see this project was a few years ago, and I’m hoping you’ll see this. What was the length of your stair pieces?

Thank you!! :>>

It's not a precise measurement since it's hard to get in there with it assembled, but each tread is roughly 2 3/4" long.
