I've actually lost count of the days because I've been picking at this house between other tasks / while procrastinating going in to the office. I don't know if it's burn out from the christmas house in such a short time or if I'm actually stuck on what to do next, either way it's extremely slow going on this little house so far.
I have been working on the staircase in an attempt to get something which looks authentic and is "functional" (as functional as a 1:12 scale staircase can be anyway). I have the risers in place and now i'm attempting to figure out where on earth I put my newel posts! I have a vision of these stairs of flowing arches with Victorian opulence oozing off every tread, and I have a saw and glue, but I haven't the faintest idea how to achieve it!
My next small step will be cutting the second floor - once that is done I can make my lighting plan and start getting some wallpaper up - once I hit that point I think the process will resume it's normal faster than lightning pace.
This house is much, much larger than I had originally planned it to be, I think I may be getting overwhelmed!
