Entry Wainscoting

  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!

*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.

  1. Gorgeous! This is so inspirational to me, you have no idea! My house has the exact same dark wood trim and molding, and the exact same flooring. I have been BEGGING my husband to get all the trim painted bright white, but he won't allow it. Maybe your photos will help me! Thank you so much for sharing! I am so going to sign up as a follower!!Polly

    I LOVE the way you unified the space and gave it more depth! The sconces are just enough to give the area light but not too over the top. I really like it!
