Design ideas for my summer palace

Design ideas from the Petit Palais: this for the servants' stair in the east wing?

Nothing too fancy, they're only servants.

This post's theme word is panjadrum, "a self-important person." The panjadrum planned his palace with a foundation of pomposity and hubris.

I wish I could pull off this hairstyle, but I simply can't afford the necessary servants.

This post's theme word is refulgent, "shining brilliantly." What a refulgent portrait!
