The last step for this house was to build and install the staircase. I liked the staircase that came with the kit, but I wanted something a little more modern that would also open up some floorspace. I did a little research online and came up with a design for a mini floating staircase.

The materials were easy. All it requires is a .5x.5 strip of basswood and the stairsteps from the kit staircase.

Using an xacto blade, I scored notches into the basswood and cut the edges to a slant to fit the floor and ceiling.

A coat of paint and the center piece was ready to be glued in place.

All that remained to do was glue on the stairs.

I like the modern look that this gives the house.
