Crazy as it sounds, I would find cleaning the medallion very therapeutic. It will be so rewarding when it is finished.
Plum,blackberries or raspberries, lemon, Hops ,damson ,ear of wheat,rosehips, sloes, gooseberries, crab apples, teezle, thistle, - it seems like a harvest, - poppy seed pods, cherries, apples ,oranges,pomegranit, pear,peach, sunflower, grapes and vine leaves.i thought the hand grenade was a stylised maize, it might help to get a victorian gardeners hand book because there maybe types of fruit and veg we no longer favour well done guys you're doing a fantastic job. was just thinking, with your own mold you could have a little sideline creating period ceiling rose for other like minded people earning money towards the restoration of your wonderful house. i love your channel wishing you the best juliet from England xxx
It's amazing how patient y'all are with cleaning things like this. And on the adoption that is wonderful. And yes do it all in y'all's time. Many members of my family were adopted or fostered. Including both of my grandparents. You and Kaleb will make great parents when you are ready. It's obvious in the videos you do. Be safe on your trip.
I think what is on the medallion is calcimine. It was a wash used on plaster ceilings, the advantage of which was that it could be washed off and then redone, so there was no build-up of paint layers. It is not used much anymore. It is water soluble so that is why it gets goopy. It there no way to restore the renewed medallion back to where it fell from? It really is a work of art and your care in working on it is incredible.
Am happy to see you using the patience usually associated with a scientist cleaning an archeologic or paleontologic specimen @nd in certain ways it is an artifact. If you find some different colors, it probably means that at one time it was polychromed. Very similar to decorative plaster houses used for Christmas villages. This could also include a type of stain used for “ antiquing” over a primer coat.
My now deceased wife, used this technique in creating a mid sized plaster ware Christmas village. She also used it for creating a wood grained effect on plaster. Usually the color would be sealed ,then “Antiqued”. You may have seen this in some of the other houses of the second empire style although it was a Victorian thing, and by the time of the Gilded Age as Mark Twain called it, in the US, many medallions and friezes were actually gilded with gold leaf.

Sorry I missed the live- what do you think about displaying the medallion in a glass case instead of remounting to the ceiling? You are doing such a beautiful job. The details are incredible
The original will ne displayed in the house somewhere. They'll make a mold of it, and the casting from that will be mounted.
I too am a Mother to our furry dog Beau:) Yes, you def will be a good Mama and Caleb a great Dad. Everything will come in due time.
Belated Mothers Day Kim💐
You have your fur babies you take awesome care of💖🌷
@@CountryLady1752 yes great comment. I've never understood why people ask such personal questions of young couples.
The patience it takes is amazing. 👏👏👏👏💜💜💜
I did enjoy watching this process! You are so patient!
Thank you for showing the process, you have the patience of a Saint!!! So exciting!
this looks like the definition of tedium. hats off to you both.
I think I saw Goonies once a long time ago. The most memorable part is that it was filmed in Astoria, Oregon, a beautiful city with lots of Victorian homes.
Yes the Goonies, fun movie and yes i remember the house, beautiful but different architecture style to this home. Love 1800s homes, they built them to last and with such beautiful detail, practical and lovely on the eye.
*Hey no one should ever ask a person if and when they are gonna have children. Some people do NOT want to ever have a child, whilst others can not conceive due to medical conditions. Asking is downright RUDE and people should think before opening up their gobs.... IMHO*
Once your beautiful home is done, please don't allow smoking inside the house under any circumstances, then things like this will stay clean!
Oh yea no we don’t smoke and we definitely wouldn’t let anyone do that inside.
Ok I am ready🙋🏼♀️
I’m waiting for the closed captioning to auto generate which takes some time. Otherwise I’d have made it live sooner.
But-but-but-but doesn't it start at 6 pm??

Thanks for sharing your renovation progress and your lives with us. You both are great people and we enjoy go along for the journey with you. Kim I hope you can get good sleep lol. I deal with the sleep disturbances every night.
Ooooh! Another Marvel fan! Woo hoo! We've already been to see Dr. Strange 2, it's pretty wild! But you are going to an IMAX theater, that will be way intense! Moon Knight was pretty awesome. I always liked the Egyptian history with the pyramids and Sphinx. The medallion is looking really great 👍. Are you going to apply any type of color to it once you get it fully repaired and cleaned?
I have a lot of patience on things like this but you guys have way more. You're doing an amazing job.
This medallion is well worth the time and patience your putting into cleaning it.. it’s just stunning..
Thanks for sharing Kim..
Wow I like to watch this, pieces flaking off lol. You are so much more comfortable talking to us now on your videos. I'm glad you are getting to spend more time together ❤️ hope you had a good mother's day with your mom.
I believe really small vacuums are sold for cleaning computer keyboards? Would that help better?
I would be tempted to use steel wool on some parts of that medallion. Did you know steel wool, can be used like sandpaper?
Tedious work and you are so good at it. Keep up the great work!
I always thought it was Berenstain. 🤔 I wonder if people's brains auto-correct it to Berenstein because that's a more common name ending.
Moon Knight: we watched the whole thing, and I'm still not sure what was what. I have a theory I'll keep to myself for now. But I'd love to know what you think when you've seen it all. 😉
Can't wait to see Dr. Strange!
Great job on medallion&attention to detail's,chit chat☺🌷.
After all the work you have done restoring this beautiful ceiling 'medallion, I think you should put it back in place, even if you have a copy made.
Is that milk paint with lime soap topcoat that you're removing?
Are you picking up the colors from it? (sorry if already mentioned it in other video)
Are you thinking of Cruella Deville from the original Dalmatian cartoon movie?
Bear N stain (st- longA- hn) bears.... they had a cartoon with the beginning song pronouncing it that way
Love Dr Strange . cool add comes on your Video advertising the movie. Would love fiddling with that medallion
It's like being a dental hygienist for a patient that neglected their teeth for seventy years. Mother's Day, since I did not want to bake my own cake, Sarah Lee cheesecake.
This looks painful, you must really love this house.
They do love it!! This is the second home they've restored. Labor of Love this is. I am glad to have the opportunity to watch the process.
@@twistoffate4791 thanks for answering Kim. 🤦♀️
@@forlini4876 It wasn't my intention to offend anyone. (I am just a subscriber.) But it is fair to say that their subscribers are enthusiastic supporters of their efforts.
@@outlander_... wawawaaaaaa
Hey these are our regular folks be nice. They know us well enough to answer for us a lot of the time.
I Love these projects you invite us to experience with you!... Soo much info and technique and tenacity and patience!!!!
Thanks for these hands of friendship you extend just for the viewership !!!
Feeling Special ❤😃
so satisfying
Satisfaction. Removing years of smoke, dust and paint. 😌❤️🤍💙
I agree It was definitely Berenstein
Rocky and Bullwinkle
Boris and Natasha were the evil characters. I always enjoyed them more than the main characters.
It would have been really hard to clean if it was still on the ceiling. I want to see the Dr Strange movie too lol. Looks like it would be good. Almost went to see it today.
Hi Kim, Great information and work on the ceiling piece. Such patience. Love the dogs. Did you hang the crystals on the bathroom sconces yet? Excited to see that too. Have fun with your Mother. 😎
What will the new mold of this medallion be made of and who does that work? Is it local?
It is easier to have dogs right now than little ones when working around the house.
You may have already seen the movie. If you haven't yet. Multiverse of Madness is
from what I understand (no Spoilers) is a
bit more Intense than so of the earlier ones.
I have been to all of them. I will be going this week to see it too.
In Goonies the Mother wore a Beret and so did Natasha in Rocky and Bullwinkle. I have to agree with Kaleb Goonies is one of my favorite movies too. And I like Rocky and Bullwinkle also. Have a good trip.
i'd be taking a toothbrush to that piece, probably turn out to be a bad idea or wouldn't work but my brain reallllly wants to just scrub it.
*Kim did ya see my comment in Kalebs last vid re your paint stripper's (coopers) yt channel, putting out brand new vid & giving more details & handy tips on using the product, ideal for all to know how to use it.*
I've seen all the Marvel Universe movies and series too, except for the new Dr Strange movie. I want to see it, but not comfortable going to theatres to see it yet as I have several underlying health issues. I LOVED Moon Knight though - wasnt sure what to expect but loved it.
Also, how incredibly rude of that commenter - whether you have kids or pets is none of their business. They dont know your situation. You shouldnt have to address comments like that. Just ignore them.
I suspect youre dealing with Calcimine which doesnt act like typical paint, and was popular to use on ceilings in the old days.
I've no knowledge of this type of work, but could the flatter areas be gently cleaned with very fine grade wet sandpaper?
Keep up the good work whatever. You will be well rewarded by your efforts...
Do you have dentil tools to use too?
also, this could make a good asmr vid, just saying 😃
Hey Kim,
How about Goof Off. I read it will take paint off plaster. Just a thought.
I keep thinking that the archaeologist tools would work so much better. 🤷
Is it Cruella DeVille?
I'm a Marvel fan. Just saw the latest Dr. Strange today and enjoyed it.
I still need to see the latest Spiderman before Multiverse of Madness!
the everything everywhere all at once had a charming premise, but the movie was horrible. I regret going.
Hello!
They look like walnuts and hazlenuts to me.
Natasha had long black hair, I don't remember any hat.
Foredom!
