bedazzling

— There were many contestants, some of them presenting very elaborate, some of them spectacular, and some very bedazzling plans of decoration, but Mr. W. G. Andrews of the Andrews Decorative Company of Clinton, Iowa, had wisely fortified himself by securing propositions from Mr. Edward Simmons to supply five pictures, Mr. Charles Holloway three pictures and Mr. Edwin Blashfield one picture as apart^([sic]) of the modest but effective plan of decoration and the capitol commission, after full consideration, determined to adopt his plan, and thus work of these distinguished artists was secured.
