I am finishing up the babies room. I would like to do picture frame wainscoting but I am not sure what size boxes to use on each wall. The right wall is 147 inches long and the left wall is 118 inches long due to the closet that takes some of the room on that side. The front wall has the window. I am not sure if it would look better with the same size boxes on each side and different spacing or different size boxes. I think I would use 2 small boxes and 2 longer but lower boxes on the wall with the window.
Beautiful room, great job! I'm envious of the picture frame molding...I'd love to do it in our house but we have plaster walls so it's just not gonna happen. I just have to live vicariously though these posts.
Why not? Use glue and a brad or pin nailer to attach the frames to the wall. It'd drive them a lot more rapidly and cleanly into a plaster wall. Provided it's not already weak and separating from the lathe.
Even with regular walls they are not perfectly even. I found I had to caulk all of the edges. Even the edges that were flat to the wall looked better with a little caulking so it does not look like a separate piece on the wall.
