Those names don't ring a bell, but I've spent many a happy hour slurping oysters at 42nd st. As far as the house goes, don't think "Spanish Colonial" as a style and then rigidly apply those rules. Spanish Colonial is more about multiple styles colliding. You've got the earthy and rustic sense of Mission Revival coming in from the west. You've got a mediterranean revival gaining popularity on the southern coast - arches, courtyards etc. You've got a colonial revival spreading from the north and east emphasizing symmetry and classic detailing. Spanish Colonial is an eclectic mix bringing in elements from multiple sources. So, it isn't that crown molding doesn't belong anywhere in the house. It is most certainly a colonial detail that might have been drawn upon. However, the place probably wouldn't have had white, painted colonial pattern crown in every corner. It certainly won't be forced into places it didn't fit naturally.

There are 2 seams on 2 walls, and 1 seam on 2 walls. Each peice was about 6.5 feet long, and the room is 16' x 11'. So, I'd do a corner 6.5 feet one way and 6.5 feet the other. To complete the 11' wall I had to cut off about a foot of the other corner panel creating only one seam. For the 16' walls I had both 6.5 foot panels, and had to cut a peice for the remaining 6 feet. Hope that makes sense :) I ran out of paint, I'll probably touch up the molding with a second coat for those seams. Hopefully it will conceal them even better, but if it doesn't I'm not really worried about it. I'm still very pleased with the results!! Christy :)

Creative Crown WOW! I just received that I had a comment from Houzz. It is incredible the fire storm that this page has started. I just want everyone to know that we have no ill feeling against anyone. Everyone is entitled to their say. Just tell the truth. Have you purchased our product before? So should you comment? I just want to say that we due care about everyone if you have bought from us or not. I know some of the people that have made a comment on this blog. They have purchased from us before and I thank you for their support. This all started with a bash from a customer. They were having some problems installing our moldings. They did not make any attempt to contact us for help. They could have called our toll free number or emailed us and we would have more than happy to have helped them. We would have spent as much time as they needed to assisted them. We have about 30 youtube videos about our product on anything you could ask about. I always take the time to call a company and try to get help if I have a problem with a product. We are a family own business and everyone's business is appreciated. We have the only "molded foam crown molding in America" It is a good product that is easy to install and is a high quality. It is Patent Pending. We did not mean to insult anyone with our earlier post. I hope this puts an end to all of the bickering and we use Houzz for what it was designed for. It is a great website and I enjoy surfing around on it. I love it for home ideas. Thank you so much Houzz. Thank you! God Bless! Owner of Creative Crown 855 633 2125

I agree w/brutuses, go to a real lumber yard. We've been installing crown too. The local indie lumber yard has 16 foot lengths, no problem. They have 8-footers as well. And interestingly enough, the crown I am using is also available at Home Depot...and it costs more there! So you won't even necessarily need to spend more money to get what you need. Ann
