So I accept been pregnant to divulge our basement for a acre now.. We added a uncomplicated Box wainscoting to the lower one-half of all our basement walls. What a divergence it made!! It adds grapheme together with the white merely lends to the coastal expect nosotros were going for. See all the basement details past times clicking below...
There are together with thence many tutorials out there, this is to a greater extent than of a motivational post than anything. Again nosotros are non trained professionals .. Just beloved DIY projects. We went to our local Rona together with had the prissy people at that topographic point cutting us 4" strips out of a 4ft x 8ft white MDF board... SO much easier than doing it yourself together with all you lot accept to produce is pay for cuts.
Here it is 1 time nosotros trimmed a frame. We decided to install the exceed trim back slice at 41" peak to trouble upwards amongst the Ikea Billy bookcases that nosotros built-in to flank our rock fireplace.
This of course of pedagogy meant I had to switch together with arrange virtually of our fine art operate slightly higher :(
We decided on 17" apart looked the nicest for our walls. We used a extra slice of the MDF strips equally a guideline.
Yes he cutting within :( DUSTY! But it helped salve a chip of time.
This is the ii tone expect when nosotros were one-half agency done.. my wife genuinely wanted to locomote out along it that way.. He is non the decorator together with thence needless to nation he didn't win that one.. sad hunny! All white wainscoting was the expect I wanted, of course of pedagogy he was the 1 doing virtually of the painting.. Needless to nation why he wanted to locomote out along it equally is ;)
Rounded corners were a chip to a greater extent than tricky.. by together with large merely used a lot to a greater extent than dap to fill upwards them in. Once I filled together with painted the corner you lot would never know at that topographic point was e'er a gap.
We chose to become amongst a thinner mdf.. 1/8", it was all because nosotros wanted to avoid removing the baseboards.. together with I personally loathe it when the bottom board is bigger or sticks over the baseboard. Anyways ours sit down perfectly on exceed of our baseboard now. That said non certain if I volition produce it 1 time to a greater extent than this way.. I genuinely similar the thicker moulding / trim back look.. So going frontwards equally nosotros install trim back inward to a greater extent than of the rooms upstairs, I recollect nosotros volition become amongst a thicker trim back strips together with merely take baseboard. This was already a huge chore together with thence nosotros opted for an easier route.
After all it nevertheless gives the expect I was ultimately craving...
You tin run into how I lastly got or together with thence to using something to a greater extent than proportional for the dorsum wall. Before I had this small-scale vintage box, I've since replaced it amongst a wicker storage trunk. It's a improve scale together with suits the spot together with thence much better.
Here it is the Hall amongst our pot lights on...
On a piddling side note.. This is an reason forces purse of my Papa's, I couldn't live happier that I lastly constitute a spot to display it. I pinned it on to a chicken wire frame. The frame was from domicile feel years agone but you lot could easily brand one.
Here the trim back acts equally a soft dorsum drib to our storage benches.
