I had no reason to do this but today I painted the steps into the basement/darkroom fire-engine red. I love red and when I was young got my parents to let me paint my room about this color (took 3 coats and still looked like crap). This is one coat, probably will add one more. You can see the wood grain through the paint but I don't really care, it makes it a little more interesting. I am messing around with the stair light, seeing if I can remake it into a dual head that can be switched to "normal" light and then perhaps a socket with a light-up "Darkroom in Use" sign or something. The huge wallspace in this area has become the home for a huge painting by a friend, some movie posters, and various antiques and computer/audio gear hung up on the wall, so I'm adding another "personal" touch now that we own the house
