This is due mainly to misunderstanding. Mr. Epstein came today and told me very bluntly that he is annoyed with me not doing the job. | prepared one column for him and the several feet of decorative molding, but this was a miss. He told me it looks like it was done yesterday. This is the very first time that | work like this. | did several projects for French customers in Greenwich, Conn., but always | produced the sample and than work according to the samples. The paneling | work on were early 19 c. so even the oak looked different. Even at the White House, when | was restoring Blue Room, which you can look at it on my Website, www.brandonthompsonrestoration.com | produced design, made samples and did the project. President Clinton told me this is the most beautiful Room, he was clearly impressed. This time | know exactly what Mr. Epstein wants. However it might be too late. He will come tomorrow to check. Today | did a lot of prep work for tomorrow. | will go tonight to work on some of the columns but the night light is deceiving and | may miss the last chance he gave me. So far | was rated the best finisher, until now | guess.

My feeling is that someone was already working in the Library, as | can see a lot of waxing done. | finished one column so it will correspond with the rest of the décor. You can not remove the whitish color completely. There are some "bald" columns, which in my opinion do not sort of belong to the Library any more as they are completely brown. Everything has to have at least an shadow of what is around. The top carving, moldings columns and other elements in the Library, have to "bond" together. The upper small carvings, have to be finished individually, as a play between the whitish color and natural brown color of oak wood. | sort of model the shapes of the crabs, snails and other creatures and they come alive. | think | did good work but Mr. Epstein needs to approve it so | can go ahead and finish the project.
