Our contractor put a door on the room the staircase is in, so we can keep the dogs out of the basement.
Rob wants to open this wall up and lose the door, so the staircase feels more integrated with the rest of the house. I like having the stairs behind closed doors because it feels like there's just another room in there, you have no idea there's a whole other floor the house.
This room used to be our bedroom and I can't believe we lived here a year and a half before getting a door for it.
