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.
Not only am I LOVING LOVING LOVING your wainscoting but I COVET your newly stained stair rail. We took the carpet off of ours years ago but we still have the 90's OAK rail and it drives us crazy. Does't sound too hard the way you described how they did it!
This is the most beautiful entry!!! I LOVE it!Can you please tell me the dimensions of you foyer? I'm trying to compare yours with a house plan I'm looking at.Thank you for such great inspiration!
P.S. LOVE how the waincotting is square under stairs but rhomboid above! How did you know to do that? LOVE it!
Wow! That's amazing! I can't wait to read FAQ details. Thank you for sharing this. 🙂 🙂
GREAT job! I'm extremely impressed!-Trish
