After finishing my mirror project, the dining wall just looked so plain. It's a long wall with a lot of blank space, and I wanted it filled.
Keeping the Tuba player's budget in mind I decided to do a faux wainscoting treatment that I've been wanting to do forever.
So I went to home depot and loaded up with some boards and got to work. This whole project cost less than $40 and took one evening to install.
I wanted the wainscoting to be somewhat on the tall side so I got some 4 foot boards (1/4 inch thick) and had them all cut at the same time to 3 feet.

Then it was PRIME TIME
And after two coats of paint, this is the final product:

After:
Just a few hours and around $35, and a huge transformation.
feel free to take a look around at the rest of my projects, and stay tuned for more!
