Regressing into your subconscious (if you're going down the stairs)
Spiral stairs could mean growth/rebirth
But to me they will always mean fun! I lived in a one-story house with a basement. Not just any kind of basement. We had a completely separate living area that we could mess up to our childish heart's content. And company wouldn't be the wiser. When I was little and my oldest sisters were already married (I was seven) my two older brothers occupied the two bedrooms and shared bathroom. I recall I've had every room in that house (except my parents' of course). When you've lived in the same house for 19 years, you tend to migrate from room to room as the house empties.
We also played a lot on the stairs. I remember playing with an old Hot Wheels set on the stairs, My Little Pony, and church with my dollies. (Yes, I couldn't get enough church apparently.) When I was four we took some family pictures on the stairs and when my parents were getting ready to leave the house that many of us called home we took the same picture on the stairs again. The stairs seemed so few then, all of us trying to pile in. But when I had to vacuum them, endless!
I have stairs in the home that I share with husband and the boy and lined along it are pictures of our parents and grandparents. Most have passed on now and so it's nice to imagine that they are watching over our little family.

The Stairs were my FAVORITE PLAYGROUND EVER. Also, I had the room "under the stairs" and my dad was awesome and turned it into a small reading corner, so underneath the landing was this cool little space I used to huddle in. LOVED it.
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic! My dad actually wanted to put a slide on one half of the stairs. I would have had the coolest house ever!
