I spent the afternoon putting primer on the dollhouse.
Where I started.
First coat.
Second coat.
I’m going for a third coat today. I’m using Killz primer and it’s still taking more than one or two coats.
Yikes. Remember the red and brown interior rooms? Imagine how much primer it’s going to take to create a neutral palette! Yikes again.
I haven’t painted the porch floor yet, because I’m not sure if I’ll paint it or cover it in some wood veneer. Heck, I have no idea what color I’ll paint the dollhouse – though, just as happened with Hummingbird Cottage, a neutral color seems more and more appealing to me. Maybe just because I’m so glad to see that garish yellow disappear. Or something tone-on-tone, if that’s correct, like the photo above. A subtle main color with white accents.
As is always the case because I rehab dollhouses that have already been constructed, getting around areas like the porch posts and trim takes some body contortion. But it sure is nice being able to stand up at the work table Don gave me and work on the dollhouse.
For those of you who asked:
Don playing Spoiler. That circular metal disk is part of the resonator. It’s a Gretsch, which is a great brand.
Okay. Have to get a move on.
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
