Foyer Update: Wainscot

We have finished restoring the plaster walls in the side entry foyer. This is very exciting. We have primed the walls with an initial coat of Kilz High Build and prepped for the wainscoting installation.

Over the weekend, we were able to finally begin installing the wainscoting on the walls...after patiently making careful measurements, marking the wall, finding the studs, and making the perfect cuts with our new jigsaw. Oh, and to adjust the level of the switch, we used some rubber washers.

For the installation, we used Liquid Nails, and some 3/4" finishing nails.








Up next, we will continue installing the wainscot, making the special cuts for the stairs, the chair rail, and the base cap. We'll be looking at new vinyl flooring for the stairs and landing.
