Crown Moulding to Raise Value of Your Home
Crown moulding has been getting more and more popular among homeowners in recent years. That is because there has been a lot of buzz generated on the subject of raising values for a home. So how is crown molding directly related to raising property values? Let's take a closer look.
When you walk into a property, what is the first thought that goes through your mind? Chances are, all sorts of impressions about the house are beginning to form in your mind. It may be a beautiful house, a messy house, a well maintained house, etc. Whatever impression that is formed in your mind at this moment, affects the perceived value of the house. Obviously, if you think that the house is poorly maintained, you may not be willing to pay a high price for the house. On the other hands, if you see that the house has beautiful interiors, you may be willing to pay a little bit more.
You see, buyers don't mind paying a premium for properties that are in demand. Therefore, when trying to raise the value of your home, you are always trying to increase the perceived value of your home. That is where crown moulding comes in.
Crown molding adds value to your home simply because it improves the look and feel of the house. Compare a house with crown moulding and one without crown molding. Which looks better? And which will you choose? Of course you are more likely to choose the one that has undergone renovations.
If you are thinking of doing a house upgrade, be sure to choose an installer that is fully qualified. That is because if you get this wrong, the renovations will actually devalue the house. Paying attention to all the details is important.
For instance, the corners and the cornices matter a lot. When potential buyers assess molding, they often look at the quality of the cornices as well as the corners. The workmanship shows. If they are poorly constructed, your renovations may be working against you instead of for you. For this reason, crown molding is also sometimes known as cornice molding. Whether you like it or not, cornices do matter!
To further increase the value of your home, you may also want to install pot lights. These are lights that create a classy and elegant look for your home. You often see them in posh settings such as hotel lobbies or high class restaurants.
The renovation cost for crown molding or pot lights installation won't cost you much. The idea is to spend a few thousand dollars, and increase the value of the home by several thousand more. For instance, if you spend $2000 on the renovations, you can expect the value of the home to raise by at least $5000 or even $10,000. A lot depends on the contractor that you hire.

cameo mould / mold jewelery making - please help!?
Sorry if this is the wrong section but it was the most suitable one I could find. If you don't know I would really appreciate it if you took the time to do a search for me because i'm at my wits end trying to find good information on this subject!!
I am looking for information on cameo necklaces. Cameo moulds/molds? I am wondering how you would make your own and what you would use.
How to get the shape for the mould.. would you need to get your chosen design sculpted in metal and make a mould out of that then find some sort of clay to make the piece for the necklace..?
Thanks if you can help in any way!!
here are some links with pictures to let you know the kind of jewelery i'm talking about:

A true Cameo is hand carved from a single piece of shell or banded agate - the colours are actual layers in the shell or stone. I visited a cameo factory in Italy a long time ago and watched them being made - cool.
That said, you could make the cameos from Sculpey or Fimo - polymer clays that are baked in the oven to harden. You can make the original from the same clay (or carve it from soapstone or plaster of paris, or use a cameo you've purchased) and make a mold of it using latex mold compound found in a good art supplies store. It comes with full instructions.
I imagine your final piece could also be made of polymer clay in the appropriate colours, or paint it after with acrylic paint, using a varnish to seal it after. You can purchase the metal "cabochon" setting at a jewelery supply place, make the cameos to fit the setting and use epoxy glue to attach.
