I love our stairs. Really and truly.
Initially we had considered a ship's ladder to get upstairs (in hindsight I am shaking my head in disbelief)...

and then we thought we could do skinny stairs...

and eventually we realized we could do full sized stairs (yay!). The full width is so much more practical, and I am thrilled that we have room for them.
no they're not crooked, that's just my photography skills |
They are clad in white birch ply, with maple stair nosing. The posts and rails are hemlock, and the railing panels are birch (although I don't know what species). The different woods work together beautifully and just blend into blond loveliness.

sure doesn't look like three wood species |
The round edge was trimmed off the stair nosing in favour of a square edge, and the risers are kicked back at an angle.
the landing.. ignore the green tape on the left (that railing is the last thing still to be oiled!) |
