Nineteenth century rooms often had decorative detailing that was actually painted in stencils. And here in our little vestibule Kim sweet has designed to this. Motif this will actually be on the vertical on the wall and this will be up on the ceiling on the horizontal she's actually getting started camp I wanna Dracula bit well I can't interrupt you -- cannot go with a brush work and a but the first step here was to put up all the glue masking tape right right and that must have taken the better part of a day yeah I just finished apple and Dell announcement -- caller okay and the color for of these is the part that will resemble a cornice is a deep red. What kind of paint is it is all well it's okay. And then at the top section. The base -- there is a beautiful teal green has yet. How I'm going to take to do -- about four days.
