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.
What an AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!! Your entry is just SO BEAUTIFUL!! Great work…what an accomplishment. ~Jenna, SAS Interiorswww.sasinteriors.blogspot.com
Pleeeeeeease, pretty please, pretty please with a cherry on top…can we get a tutorial on the wainscoting?????? On my knees begging. Please!!!!! We have a router table too and I have been trying to explain to my husband that this was the kind of molding I wanted in our downstairs family room, but it is impossible to find a tutorial on it. Did you follow a tutorial or did you just make it up as you went? If you made it up you are a genius! If not, you are still really smart, but could you please share your resource? I wish we lived closer because I would buy your house in a heartbeat now that you plan to move! (Have I done enough sucking up to warrant a tutorial yet?)
Oh please do a tutorial on wainscoting! I have a router table and would love instructions – thanks!Mary
I just posted the picture of your stairway on my blog as you are my inspiration for what I am getting ready to do on mine! Although my stairway is not near as dramatic as yours I still love the look and know it will make a difference in the appearance!!! Love your blog!
I love the stairs…this is exactly how I want mine to look one day ! (dear hubby?) nice job !
