Is this purely aesthetic or does it have a useful function?

It is supposed to be crown moulding, but something went wrong and the builder forgot where to stop

If you don't deal with mould right away it just starts growing everywhere

Isn't crown molding one piece? At least vertically, it's like strips of wood around the ceiling? Who designed this abomination? That piece of wood that was dremmeled to all hell would've been huge.

You can stack them, for some bizarre reason, it doesn't have to be one piece.

[-] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Most is one piece where some pieces attach at a 45 degree angle between the wall and ceiling. You can stack an additional piece of flat trim that is wider than the angled moulding at the ceiling to make it fancier and/or unique.

There's some combos that do look good, the OP goes beyond asthetics and crosses into the realm of mental illness.

In most cases it's asthetic only, but I've used crown moulding to hide wire runs which would have been a pain to run inside the wall or ceiling.

But stacking that many mouldings is nuts.
