Today I went window shopping for new wood oil. I had several sample cans of Osmo oil from 2021, and a little really goes a long way with it, but after my intense restoration activity this year most of them have run out. One little can (125 ml) costed ~$15 then. I wanted to order a replacement and turns out it costs $30 now 💀 Which made me search for more affordable alternatives, and I found one that's 3 times cheaper. So today I was on a mission to compare the samples to see which colours were dupes. And I have to say, I can see where Osmo gets its price 😭 There weren't any dupes for my favourite colours, and some of the samples were weirdly grainy. Still decided to try at least the transparent one on the stairs. The scrooge in me is persistent!

The guilt tripping worked 🫡 I managed to sand the first step, and it was both not as good and not as bad as I thought: + vacuum cleaner helped great with the dust, which worried me the most + love that I can do this project gradually, literally one step at a time - I spent 2 hours on sanding 1 step, cause the paint is hard to take off. 2 h x 9 steps = 18 hours 💀 - I might have to use paint stripper again, it's kind of nasty - difficult to plan for oil finishing - I'll have to do it right before going to bed

This whole day I'm trying to hype myself up for sanding the worn stairs in my room. Pros: - dopamine from seeing them all fresh, and then more of it when I give them a new finish - I can listen to a podcast while doing it - seems like I can be done quickly (but I'm always wrong on that) Cons: - everything will be covered in wood dust. Again!! - I'll probably get tired - I'm afraid I'll run out of wood oil before I finish all the steps I'm even writing this cast to guilt trip myself to do it 😆 Future me would be embarrassed to not follow up on my words!

From idea to reality, p. 2 This is one of those ideas that have been brewing in me for ~10 years, and finally all the pieces fell into place and it became a reality. My FIL is a painter (he's also a surgeon and a poet 😅), so he always had a lot of paintings, frames, supplies tucked away somewhere without a proper storage. This year there was a new room added to our house, and I immediately knew I should organise painting storage there somehow. And this is how I did it: - Pinterest - found a picture of a vertical painting rack made out of planks. Thought it would be perfect to fit behind the pipe in the room - chatGPT - asked for instructions on how to make a rack like that - found supplies online & ordered them - Tinkercad - made a 3D plan based on the supplies I chose and the instructions from chatGPT - sawed the planks myself, made the shelves - assembled everything together with the help of my husband 💜 - filled it up with paintings. Everything fit inside perfectly! Before and after ⬇️
