Another off-topic question:  Sorry!!!   

Looking at your windows... Those look just like Hurricane Shutters... What are those?

Fortunately there is no risk hurricanes, here near Milan  , are simple shutters (tapparelle in italian)

Hey, do you still use oil based paints ?

For my next project I'll try some alkyde water based paint which is as resistent as oil based but with no odor and water cleanable (no white spirit).

Yes, always oil based paint (bad odor but great results), I've tried water based paint in the past with ugly results ...

Well, I suggest you try one day some alkyde water based paints (the next gen paints).

In France, several brands are selling it, like Astral Peintures and others.

I've recently painted the interior doors of my house, and the result, after only two coats, is great. Looks really like oil based paints.

That sure looks like hard work!!!!  aligning the stencils...!!!  and any problems of paint bleeding under?  Any problems removing stencil without peeling paint?  Do you take stencils off soon after paint or wait some time?

I've been painting recently.... taping and masking such a pain.....

Yeah, the hardest part of this project, I'm really curious about the result, great job so far.
