Add Wainscoting to Walls Using Pallet Wood
Get the look of wainscoting without the cost.
To start off, I nailed the top boards to the studs in the wall at the desired height. I also applied builders adhesive to the back of the boards.
Next, I added the second row. I measured and used a level to keep the distance the same along the wall.
I then added boards connecting the two boards.
Next, I added the lower vertical boards.
Using a caulking gun and paintable caulking, I filled all the holes, knots and cracks. I then added a bead of caulking where the boards met and along the sides of each board.
I’m loving the new look. It’s not perfect, by any means, but I works.
