You wouldn’t believe how much of a difference a little wainscoting can make, both before and after!
Do you think it needs another layer of paint?
Yeah it does. We also overlooked some nails that need to be filled. We still need to paint the wall above it, but we’re almost done.
That looks great!
It looks amazing! Upgraded from basic to high-end.
Was in complete agreement. It really brought the whole space to a new level.
Absolutely beautiful
I’ve been thinking about tackling this project myself. Could you share how difficult it was? Also, did you secure it to the wall with glue or finishing nails? And did you seal all the small gaps with caulk or silicone?
So Christopher and Emmy thought it would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be more challenging than they anticipated. The trickiest part was getting the angles just right. If you’re installing a shelf on a flat wall, it might not be as difficult. They decided to use a nail gun. I’ll find out from him whether caulk or silicone is better.
Totally worth it though!
Is really rocking that look. Seems like a lot of hard work paid off. So, wood filler it is. By the way, did you also apply the wood filler where the wood meets the drywall?
Hey Christopher, we actually ended up using the other tube instead.
Hey Christopher, how are you doing?
Oh my gosh, what a huge change!
Wow, it looks fantastic! Did you change the lighting or did you lighten the stain on the steps too?
I believe the transformation was mainly due to the lighting and the addition of white! It really made a difference.
That’s awesome! Seems like there’s a ton of math involved haha
Exactly! That part would have been impossible for me without the help of my husband.
Lovely. It’s actually quite significant! A really nice distinction.
Hey Joan, we originally thought it would be a quick project, but it actually ended up taking us about a month.
Mentioned that he filled in the cracks where the boards met the wall with wood filler, and fixed any seams where the wood connected.
Incredible. Such a noticeable change. The wainscoating is fantastic!
Definitely! Isn’t it impressive!
This is fantastic!!

Sure thing, here is the gently rephrased text: “Andrew Notarianni 😍”
It makes a lovely statement.
That’s great!
I’m curious, did you apply paint or hardboard to the section before installing the panels? I’m thinking of doing the same to my staircase. It really does make a difference.
