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.
Wow, what a difference! It looks amazing!
Wow! Job well done. The end result is fantastic. Most people would have been afraid to cover the natural wood. All white makes the banister and stairs pop. I love it!
Wow! Your steps and hallway look awesome! We just finished staining our steps and now you have me looking at the hallway! Thanks for the inspiration :)Wendy
I just found your blog from your feature on Tatertots & Jello and all I can say is WOW. The projects you have taken on are amazing!! You made them look far less daunting. Fantastic job, and beautiful home! :)~Keri
Congrats on your feature! This looks great! I want to do this in my entryway now too. We have a router and router table, but I have no idea how to use it. Guess I'll do some research and play with it this week. BTW, I like your new header too!
