Adding Picture Frame Wainscoting

Happy Spring Everybody!  How was your weekend?  We didn’t get the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful spring like weather.    Instead, we spent most of our weekend inside or at Lowes.  We were planning and measuring for our powder bathroom renovation and adding picture frame wainscoting to our downstairs living space. 

I love the look of picture frame wainscoting and  have   wanted to add it to our downstairs.   First Charlie performed the math calculations  to properly size and space the pieces.  Then we began installing it in the hallway and kitchen.   Below are pictures of  the hallway before adding picture frame wainscoting.

The start of adding frames to the wall in the hallway.

Charlie did an awesome job on the stair cuts.  Now that required some math and I’m not good at math!

And now the after of our hallway.

The kitchen entry wall.  I almost hate to put my little black table back.

Before we start putting picture frame wainscoting in the living room, I NEED to convince my sweet, sweet husband that we should replace the wood stove below…….

with this.  Isn’t it gorgeous!  Wish me LOTS of luck on convincing him on this.  He loves his woodstove! 

Thanks for stopping by and may your day be filled with lots of sunshine.

  1. Looks great Gail, my hubby did ours too but I am seriously considering painting the whole wall, including the chair rail, and picture frames because I am tired of the look. What do you think? My hubby also built a mantle and all and we put in an electric fire place in our bedroom. I doesn't look like a bought one because he "customized" it. Maybe if you get your hubby to build you one, he wouldn't mind so much getting rid of his stove? Just a thought...

  2. That looks great, Gail! Our house has no architectural details, except for crown molding we added to our living room, so I love to see these touches. Did you have the bottom portion of your wall white before or did you paint it white for this project?

  9. I love architectural details and yours looks great. I'm with you on the fireplace vs woodstove. However, I sometimes give up what I want in favor of what hubby wants. He's very generous and lets me do what I want so I try to remember he lives here too!

  10. Looks Great! Found your link at Robin's All Things Heart & Home.
    Makes me want to start a new project. =)

    More importantly my prayers go out for your son. I too have a son in the military. He is at the beginning of his Army career. He hasn't been deployed yet. He just finished his Officer's Training at Ft. Benning and just moved into his apartment at Ft. Stewart, GA.
    Hugs to you.
