It was crazy of us, I know! We thought we could do it, but we eventually called the real experts and had a professionally-constructed <a href="http://www.paramountiron.com/spiral-stairs.html" rel="nofollow">spiral stairs</a> delivered. They started with <a href="http://www.paramountiron.com/spiral-stairs/spiral-stairs-image-gallery.html" rel="nofollow">spiral staircase kits</a> since it was indoors, and they slowly built it to perfection. Thank God for them, they're life savers!Candiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576818057666213862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115922857692314288.post-73215421960799030012010-01-15T23:02:34.328-08:002010-01-15T23:02:34.328-08:00Great post!!!

It would be in line with the small wall with the door leading to the upstairs. Then you'd have a large, flat wall ton put shelves against.shannonc60https://www.blogger.com/profile/12411485172616395915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115922857692314288.post-20248558798464330052010-01-12T22:45:02.058-08:002010-01-12T22:45:02.058-08:00LOL Michelle after reading Sandras post too am hav...LOL Michelle after reading Sandras post too am having second thoughts !!!

I was wondering how on earth they went together as my shop was already put together, and no instructions, albeit badly and it all fell to bits on arrival! I have tried putting them together just to see how they went but could never get it right so Ill follow your pics! <br />I think the room looks great with the corner cabinet, maybe a low counter under the left window and then a large counter in the centre of the room with the till etc? Can see it all now with all the toys! I cheated as you konw and took out all the back walls giving me one huge downstairs pie shop and then 2 upstairs rooms and the barber attic .....only cos Im lazy and it looked too fiddly with all those walls and corridors to figure out, youve done it beautifully though. getting my Empire out this week yippee, cant wait to get going on Sweeneys shop again.

They're really versatile due to the removeable shelves. I added individuallight bulbs inside each section of mine, a total of 30+. It was a nightmare at the time but the effect when they're all on is just magical.<br /><br />You're doing really well with this shop.

Whatever way you do it, I think it's tricky! Looking great so far. I have some of those shelf units, they are great. I particularly like the stair carpet though, very nice indeedy. :o))<br />Michelle xxxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115922857692314288.post-53697310520228867142010-01-12T07:50:32.568-08:002010-01-12T07:50:32.568-08:00OH no!
