Servants Staircase in Lanhydrock House, Cornwall
Mrs Beeton advised that blue was a colour which somehow kept away flies. At Lanhydrock, much of the wall area in kitchens, dairy, pantries etc is painted this beautiful blue. Then I noticed the warm red of the upper staircase which separated by the white of the stairs (like vanilla ice cream) was very pleasing to the eye. I have not enhanced the colours in this shot at all - it was just lovely.
