I decided to install this Wainscoting in the room adjacenet to my kitchen with the hope of adding a bit of a "accent" to the room. After considering a few differnt accent wall styles, I decided that a Wainscoting (wood paneling that lines the bottom portion of the room) would work best. For this project, I started by purchasing 1"x3" and 1"x2" MDF from Lowes. I also needed a few other materials like construction adhesive, paint, etc. To actually install the wainscoting, I stared by installing the top rail. To do this, I cut the MDF to size and attached it to the wall using construction adhesive and brad nails. Next, I determined the spacing for my veritcal boards and then cut them to the right height. Once cut, I applied construciton adhesive to the backs of the boards and then attached them to the wall with brad nails. **Be sure to use a level to ensure that all boards are level and plumb** After installing all of the 1"x3" boards, I installed a 1"x2" MDF "top cap" to give the Wainscoting a more finished look. Next, I caulked all of the seams and gaps. Once the caulk dried I painted the entire wainscoting with ultra pure white paint. As the final step, I hung an accent mirror in the center of the wainscoting wall and placed a faux plant in the corner. Overall, I think this project compleley transformed the look of the space! 🙏 PLEASE SUBSCRIBE IF YOU LIKE THIS TYPE OF CONTENT 😃 🧠Keep Learning About DIY Accent Walls 🎬 https://youtu.be/s6Dj7WpGR0s?si=hy07IbYDOd2Ign3u ⬇️Social Media (I would love for you to Follow me on Instagram!) ⬇️ Follow me on Instgram! https://www.instagram.com/atimprovements/ Follow me on Pinterest! https://www.pinterest.com/andrewthronimprovements/ Follow my FB Page! https://www.facebook.com/ATImprovements Check out my Website (Blogs, Free Plans, Etc.) https://atimprovements.com _________ *All content on the Andrew Thron Improvements YouTube channel reflects my own opinions.
