My stairwell with painted scallops and new wainscoting.

We just added wainscoting to our wall in our upstairs stairwell. I also didn't want to paint the white wall all the way up past 20 feet because of it being so high. I 'cheated' down 2 ft. from the ceiling and stenciled a scallop to break up the white original builders wall with the Practical Beige by Sherwin Williams that I painted the majority of the wall.
Scallops that I stenciled 2 foot down from the tall ceilings so I would not have to paint any higher.

    Hi can you tell me how you figure the length and width that you cut the molding for the boxes? I’m completely lost
