I long for the days when all that happened when I banged into the coffee table was a bruised shin...

Side note: I just learned, after listening to a radio show about language, that victuals is actually pronounced vittles.

If this is your patio you better have two maids and a butler.

Re: the wooden stairs, it looks like the bottom half is actually supported by stone stairs underneath. Then I bet the top half is secured horizontally by extending into the stone wall.

I don't see mortar around the edges if those logs to hold them in the wall. I think they are not in the wall, but I agree that the wall provides support. I bet there is hidden hardware that goes into the edge of the logs.

They don't have to be in the wall, just abutting with steel rods or pipe into the stone work. That's not their only support, they also have the tread beneath.

That is the opposite of my bed design. Shin friendliness was a primary concern of mine.

You would have to have a large room for that to work. Then you would have plenty of maneuvering space around the bed and could approach it from the sides.

In my room, I have maybe a foot on the side of my bed before you hit a bookcase. I'd be bashing my shins constantly. It would get me coming and going. Right shin on my way to bed and left shin when I'm getting up in the morning.

It looks good though.

Easy to break down and move. No fasteners.

You could prolly make it work without the projections.
