A little wainscoting can make a huge statement.
I have always wanted add wainscoting similar to the ones in these pictures, but I know that it can be a little pricey to pay a professional.
I was so excited to see a DIY tutorial in the Spring Edition of Better Homes and Gardens: DIY. I looked everywhere, but I couldn't find any pictures of the tutorial.
So the best I can do is share with you all an excerpt from the article.
.:. It looks rich, but wainscoting like this is a doable weekend project
Start by covering the desired wall area with 1/4-inch birth plywood (using wood screws), then attach vertical 1x2s every 16 inches
Top the plywood with a 1x6 board adhered flat against the wall, then a cap of 1x2s. Prime and paint .:.
Maybe I will do this project someday when I find a little bit more time. if I do, then I promise to post step-by-step pictures of the tutorial.
Yell at me I know a much easier way.
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on your posts. Your Colorado pics were beautiful! And yes, being debt free is wonderful. And yes, you do need life insurance.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog and always look forward to new posts.
I am obsessed with beadboard and board & battan right now. My husband is working on putting beadboard in our entryway {inspired by www.theletteredcottage.net}! We have a standard house, no bells or whistles and with adding these little moulding touches I think it adds a custom look.
