Entry Wainscoting
I wanted to brighten up this house and get rid of all of that awful orange wood. I created this wainscoting by routering a bunch of MDF and nailing it onto the wall. It was actually a lot of work but well worth it!
I don’t have enough before pictures but you can let your imagination fill in the blanks. The whole house was the same kind of ugly, entry and stairs included!
BEFORE
*Tearing out the carpet involved 2 pairs of big pliers and a lot of elbow grease. Just grab the carpet and pull with all your might. Probably a good job to wait for a big, strong man to take on. If you’re impatient like me and want it done RIGHT NOW! Just get ready for a GOOD workout and be mindful of your back.
Really beautiful, as if you read my mind, right down to the black egg shaped door knobs!Paula ~ Mise en scène
Did you use semi-gloss on the walls as well as on the moulding? I'm about to start a project like this myself and don't know whether to buy a gallon of flat…
I love the board and batten you did. You're awesome! I also appreciate the FYI on how the paid workers finished the railing (project up-and-coming for me), but I wonder would it also be possible to do a light sanding and use the gel stain to change the color of wood floors???
You did a great job on this project! What a way to add interest and detail to plain walls. Love it!-Katie
What a beautiful transformation! I love it!
