Wainscote”d” Bedroom

So you’re probably wondering what Reba and Brent are working on right now, since it seems like we are always working on something. Well, aside from getting the yard in order for spring, our big project right now is redecorating our master bedroom.

.

Several months ago I saw an episode of, I think it was, Double Take on HGTV. I looked on the HGTV.com site and couldn’t find the episode, but I liked the designer room that the crew on the show was trying to replicate. In fact, I liked it so much, I saved the show and went about trying to convince Brent that our bedroom needed to look very similar to that room, but, of course, my tweaked ideas would make it even better.

The room will be beautiful when it’s done but right now it’s a mess and has been for quite a while. With just one day a week together to work on it, it’s pretty slow going. Right now we’re putting up the wainscoting. I wanted it to simulate raised panel, so I insisted that we cover the drywall with paneling and then the molding would go on top. Brent protested but in the end, I got my way. Click the picture to see more photos.

Right now we have two and a half walls done, prior to painting, but we really feel like we’re on a roll. I guess we finally have it “figured out”, and believe me, it took a while. The first wall was tough, but as we moved around the room it got better and easier.

.

Right now I’ll give you a peek with some pics, but I’m going to save the “how to” for a later post. Oh, and updates will follow as well.
