Wainscoting in the dining room

I love my "new" dining room!  Hooray for a hubby who indulged my wish for wainscoting!  And thank you to Decor Chick for inspiring me.

Against the wood floor it looks so impressive.  The fact that it is faux makes me love it more.  I like the texture on the wall, too.  I have plans to hang curtains, eventually.

This is how the wall looked last Sunday night after Hubby and Bubbie built the boxes.

It involved math, so I guess I'm glad I let him do this part!

On Tuesday, I painted with Behr Paint plus Primer in a satin finish in "Decorator White" - a soft, but true white.  And I caulked around the boxes first.

I painted all the way down the wall to the floor - and I may go back and touch up the very tip top of the chair rail - when I can stomach the smell of paint again.  I think I have painted every room in this house since last August.

Mid-morning I was all done with outlet covers and night lights replaced.  

Its really not this dark in here, but whatcha think?
