To please Edward, the gilding alone took us three months to get it just the way he wanted it. - [Southwestern Style Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southwestern-style-estate-pj-vj~1299405) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: We had the pleasure of working on this all summer long.
