"The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs" Vance Havner

 With much of the bedroom building and decorating works done it was time to finally put down the stairs carpet. We'd had the runner for just a few weeks but the stair rods had been bought about 8 years ago, not long after we'd got the Manse - and, amazingly, I knew exactly where to find them

The inspiration for the choice was the wonderful Glenfinnan House Hotel - a must visit if you're ever up this way (http://www.glenfinnanhouse.com/)
