How much bead board is too much?
Comments (2)We're doing all bead board drawers/doors and end panels. I think it will all look great, especially with the contrast between the perimeter and island cabinets. Ours are all cherry with a caramel stain (no pictures since we've just started some demo and waiting on permits). Go for it....See MorePainted paneling looks GREAT! Now how about a beadboard ceiling?
Comments (12)I have pine floors but they were way too much work! I loved the idea of wood floors at first but after having to sweep several times a day it got old fast. I wound up putting textured carpet in my office (the mauve room with the styrofoam ceiling) and the living room. My office looked like this before the mauve walls and with the plywood ceiling The room with the beadboard ceiling is the one I was describing above with the vinyl tiles that look like ceramic. It is not the kind that is in Lowes or HD though. these are a beige tile with a dark brown edge. It looks like ceramic tile. I got it from Habitat restore. It was not preglued. I have not been able to find it in any stores. Here is a photo of it. I took this photo because when we first put the tiles down we used the wrong glue and it seep out all the cracks. we had to use a different glue. the tiles look so much better in real life. I think I am the only person who has used real color paint on their paneling! In the first photo above I had them put one of the tiles on the machine to make that color. it came out a plain beige very similar to the color that was already there except I changed it from flat to sating finish In my livingroom I have this color, white ceiling tiles (the kind often used in dropped ceiling) it will be replaced soon and now carpet on this floor My kitchen paneling is blue but I think I am going to repaint it a nice gold color All of my walls looked like this before painting. it was so dark and drab!! I painted the floors like this (floor paint and a few coats of poly) can you tell I am a little off the beaten path? LOL!...See Moreflgargoyle, about your beadboard cabinet doors
Comments (5)Way to go, Marti! It sounds like progress to me. And having a really real beadboard construction is something to be proud of. Awesome. Oh yeah. I hope you remember to take pictures for your own benefit, presanding, and as you begin the finish, and then after you finish, and then as you hang them. It is a long process, and you don't need to forget how much went into creating them....See MoreHow high should beadboard go?
Comments (13)Here is an older thread with some nice pics in the replies to give you an idea of scale. I prefer the lower wainscot. That is my personal preference and may not be yours. Taking bead board high in the room makes it look more like wall paneling. But perhaps that is the look you prefer. This is a picture taken from that other thread, and -- yes -- I do prefer it higher. Additionally, it would allow you to match the top of the bead board to the top of the shower enclosure /top of the shower curtain. I like that it allows for a small picture rail....See More- 15 years ago
