    I find that I watch the RUclipsrs that, in whatever they may do, have in their lives the pursuit of Excellence. They have a passion for restoring paintings, furniture, homes, etc. and do so to the very best of their abilities. They will spend more time than the average soul on "making it right". You, my friend, pass the muster. As a photographer and one who loves architecture it is a pleasure to see a kindred spirit (albeit in a different way) who loves and appreciates the makers of the past 💗.

    I originally thought the pattern was larger, but what you have done looks great. I like the variations in the red color. It does look 'hand stamped', which works well in your vintage room. The homage to the butler's pantry still makes me smile.

      This is a really good idea. I have a Cricut that I’ve never used.

I own a house built in 1899 and I also live in St. Louis and we’re about to start renovating in two days. Because of the encouraging words I’ve received from Caleb and others I’m also going to start a RUclips channel. I start filming on Monday.

    If you do a bigger room with that method, maybe an aluminum main stencil with cardboard ones for the edges and weird angles would be a good option. That way you can do an acetone soak when it gets clogged. I know aluminum stencils can run pretty pricey though.

    • @AkSonya1010
      @AkSonya1010 2 года назад +1

      It would be so hard to hold up the aluminum especially when plastic is easy to tape to the wall. The plastic ones are fairly easy to clean with a multitude of removers and even goof off when it's fresh.

    • @blazertundra
      @blazertundra 2 года назад +1

      @@AkSonya1010 how would aluminum be hard to tape up? Especially at the thinner guages, it's not much heavier than a dense plastic. I've worked professionally with thick aluminum stencils (not for wall painting though) and even those were pretty lightweight.
      Granted, I haven't worked with plastic stencils much, but wouldn't they be a serious problem to clean if the paint has enough time to cure completely on them? I'm not well-versed in my plastics, but the only kind I'm aware of that can handle an acetone bath is silicone, which would not make for a good stencil. Unlike metal, you can't throw harsh chemicals at most plastics when paint cures completely.
      I'm just genuinely curious. If plastic is a viable alternative, that could definitely save Kaleb a lot of money and headache even compared to aluminum if he does another paint-on wallpaper.

    • @AkSonya1010
      @AkSonya1010 2 года назад +1

      @@blazertundra what's really funny. We had another discussion about the size of the pattern in the bathroom. Some of us envisioned the pattern larger & some people felt it was exactly what they had envisioned.
      When I think of aluminum stencils. I have to admit, I was thinking of heavy gauge aluminum not thin. 🤣 It is interesting how we all interpret the same thing so different based on our experience. I used to do road construction & paint asphalt & had heavy-duty aluminum stencils, so that is where my mind went. 😉
      I haven't had a problem cleaning the plastic stencils even when they dry. I've scraped it off or I used a gel paint remover.

    That painting you showed I thought it was Mr. Brown in his younger days. Strange that it wasn’t but it sure was a beautiful piece of art. The powder room is looking really good n I kinda like the imperfections in the lines. It wouldn’t bother me a bit if I ever came for a visit or even a stay.
    Atlas is very handsome boy n bet he’s liking that he’s able to spend more time with his daddy. That’s to bad about the wood you got. It’s so hard at this day of age to find original pieces to a much older home but you’ve managed to do fairly well. Wish you n Kim a good week. Sending lots of hugs from the Sunshine State.

    I needed this, really struggling with supply chain issues to stuff I need for the renovations, waiting 7 months for a new oven!! Shortage and delays for basic items such as plaster board, wiring for electric… you gave me a lift. So thanks again…

    Love the stencil and colors❣️... I agree wallpaper would be more costly and harder to do. Have a great week Kaleb!

    Oh my, that stenciling looks awesome!
    It really looks period correct!
    You know, it would be perfectly acceptable, design wise, to leave one wall blank. In fact, I think it would make the room look bigger, especially since it has such a high angle over that door.
    Live with it awhile....see if you like it.

Yes, I love dogs too even though we mostly had cats growing up buyt my sister has a dog who I absolutely love and adore :)

    Incredible job, I knew it would be beautiful but that is so much better than I thought. interesting choice using spray paint.
    As someone who has done several stencil jobs on both walls and a floor in my house I can honestly say I just get complements & amazements. People always admire my stencil work and no one has ever looked at the imperfections and pointed them out. I don't think people look at that kind of detail.

    The bathroom walls are looking fantastic. It will be wonderful when you're finished and able to post before and after images.
    Reference the headboard. Have you posted to the Architectural Salvage Buy and Sell Facebook group?
    And lastly, it's wonderful to see the smiles and happiness on your face, especially after the sadness from last week's disasters. All the best to you and Kim.

    Shalom Restorer! I stenciled quite a bit in my old home because paint is cheaper than wallpaper. With that said, you should use clear coat paint sealer over your work . Especially in the bathrooms. I did and it preserved my paint work for over fifteen years! All three bathrooms ( I sealed the kitchen as well) were still nice when I sold the house in 2019. Much success in all you do!

    Awesome stenciling and appreciate all the work and preserving history. Part of my Genealogy is from your area and helps to get a feel for history of that time.

    I LOVE Baumgartner! I was going to suggest him for the painting. Wouldn't hurt to talk to the guy. He loves to talk technique, I would bet a few videos back and forth would be of help. Ok, now I'm going to watch the rest of the video.☺
