Like armcolor suggested I think a retractable gate at the top of the stairs is a must. I would use caution with putting anything on the ledge, it may be too much of a temptation to play with.

How To Baby Proof This Stairwell? Good Questions

My parents have a similar granite build-in kitchen table . At first I was unsure about their choice, but now having a child of my own, I am jealous. The surface is easy to clean, don't have to worry about scratches like wood, you can put hot dishes on the table, no need for placements, and it can serve as an extra kitchen work surface.

As many posters have commented, it depends on your child, my daughter (13 months) still likes a little rocking before bed. I think you should have some time of seating.
I resisted the glider rocker through most of my pregnancy, my husband really wanted one. We agreed upon this one: http://www.besthf.com/best/Furniture/Glider-Rockers/items/MANTOVA - it matched the espresso furniture in the room and had a more contemporary look. I love it, the chair is comfortable, easy to get out of and the arms hold up my nursing pillow. We didn't opt for the ottoman, I just have a nursing stool. For kid #2 I want the ottoman, especially for the early weeks when you seem to spend all of your time nursing and rocking.

I also have that exact gate for our gas stove. We explored other options, even considered DIYing something. In the end the hearth gate was the simplest and safest solution for us. I agree with other commenters, its temporary and after awhile you don't even notice it.
