SInce we were cutting down the side rails of the bed anyway (they were too tall, which made getting out of bed suck), I decided to repaint them entirely. This go round, I decided to go with designs from the Hours of the Duc d'Berry.
The second coat of primer and the first coat of paint went on tonight. Tomorrow I'll see whether I need to lay down another background coat or whether I can skip ahead to the first round of goldwork and lay the foundation for the figures. I think it will need one more coat than I expected to get the details that I want on the figures.
Later I need to iron out what exactly I want to do with the head and foot boards. And make some bags so we stop scraping the crap out of everything.
