Rehabbing

I didn't feel well today, so I stayed in bed late and pretty much did nothing until after noon. Then I felt better and I decided to start on my staircases.

My old dollhouse had two staircases that fit into my new one, but are totally unfinished.

I have grand ideas about how I'd like them to look when I finish. White with a dark cherry, or mahoghany railing, newel post, and treads.

I worked on the first coat of white for nearly three and a half hours today and quit when I began to feel nauseous. I stopped and it was some time before I felt better. I still don't know if it was because I wasn't feeling great anyway, or if it was the paint (acrylic titanium white, which should be perfectly safe) or just peering at such tiny spaces for so long, or maybe even holding my breath without meaning to.

But I am halfway towards putting the staining on one of them now and I think I am going to like it.

Although I can already see one thing I wish I had done differently. LOL
