I spent some time doing even more paint touchups on the window trim, then figured out that I had forgotten to stop and pick up more 60-grit sandpaper to do up the porch roof-- didn't feel like running up to the hardware store, so skipped that for now. Maybe I'll remember next week... Also figured out that I don't think I want to affix the porch steps until I get my 1/4-inch plywood base, so skipping that for now also until I get over to Lowe's.

So I wandered inside again, and stained up a bunch of trim for the parlor and bedroom. I am toodling along, sizing every piece separately to fit in place, shaving off bits here and there with my dremel... I also picked out a fabric and laid out a bunch of drapes on skewers with spray starch so I can put together my window treatments. Still haven't decided for sure but thinking some sort of swag-jabot combination with a pelmet.
