Jimmy has gotten the shell together for me, except for the third floor, so I've put it into position to begin priming it for wallpaper. You knew I was going to turn it upside down, didn't you? How else am I gonna paint?

At this point, I start looking at all the rooms in this house, and I start doing some serious drooling! This is gonna take a lot of wallpaper! Cool! Ordinarily, I use two coats of semi-gloss paint on walls that I am going to wallpaper, but this time I am only doing one coat. I also put some stain on the interior window frames, because my interior window frames will be stained.

While I'm waiting for paint to dry, I go ahead and take out my stair parts. I decided to do the stairs in two different colors of stain. For the steps and handrails, I stained those cherry. I stained the treads and other staircase pieces in golden oak. I also did the bookcase that way.
