As part of a video series I worked on with Real Homes, we filmed a little experiment with one of the two original sets of architraves left here at Moregeous Mansions.

Moregeous Monday Moments
Ola again on a Moregeous Monday! I said last week might be worth missing so high five to those of you who gave it the advised swerve as here at least, it didn't actually exist.
