Wainscoting - yuck. Help me fix it.
Comments (45)nycowboy, too bad you're not closer to Ikea. I am 2 hours from one, so I haunt their website, sometimes call to make sure of sizes (so I know if it will fit in my car), and when I'm sure of what I want, I make the drive with shopping list in hand. Think about creative repurposing too. E.g. I wanted light airy window coverings in my painting studio, so I used landscape burlap (hanging from those same rings on an Ikea cable). I think it was about $1/yd. And I bought some old burlap coffee sacks and turned them into throw pillows for my living room. Get creative and you can end up with a really special room....See MoreExterior wainscot advice needed
Comments (2)Keep it natural, maybe some black or white trim for contrast. Plan your landscaping first and use a stone band in the same (local) stone pavings/gravel (or plaster in a similar color). Vertical lines will add height, but plaster will be easier on the eye and all attention will go to the woodwork.
