Decorative Interior Wall Panels - Wainscot

Here is my (only) ‘before picture’ where you see one of our crew members beginning to mark the walls for the panel’s height around the room.

Woodwork looks best when it has some shape and ‘texture’ to it …so we machined the lumber at different thicknesses so that the paneled walls didn’t appear flat (like a regular wall looks). You begin to get a sense of how this ended up from this photo of one of the doorways, taken from the side.

We used their existing doors and sanded them down to bare wood so that the stain and finish matched for all the woodwork. This picture shows the wainscot at 54” high.

This is a small nook off the foyer (more like a hallway) for 2 closets and the main entrance to the rest of their home. This really displays the look of Mission Style architecture, I think.

There was no easy way to photograph the whole project in a single photograph but I managed to capture a good deal of it using a panorama.

Besides the fireplace mantle (for which I’ve already written blog) and this wainscot, we also wrapped a number of beams & support columns as well as creating a staircase balustrade with newel post …. all in the same Mission Style architecture. I’ll be posting about those two projects soon. -Hudson Cabinetmaking, Inc.
