Rick and Elma have some beautiful wallpaper, but it had a few cat scratches in the lower extremities so they decided to cover it with wainscot. It took me a day to paste it together above the baseboard and add a chair rail on top. I also provided the outside corners. It was only done in two rooms (front room and hall).

They provided the materials and were going to paint it afterwards.

Below are some before/during/after pictures.

I enjoy making “rough” but sturdy shelves. They go pretty quick, they don’t have to look great because generally they are for storage, and not in a sitting room.

First a 1×2 gets screwed to the wall horizontally, on studs.

Then, a shelf is screwed to that rail.

A front piece is glued and screwed to keep it from bowing too much.

Vertical pieces are screwed to the corners to level everything up.
