We transformed this staircase wall with a full wainscoting installation, but don’t let the clean, simple look fool you—this kind of detail takes serious craftsmanship…..We built the entire framework out with 1x6s, then framed each panel with base cap molding for crisp definition. From filling and sanding to achieving a seamless finish, every step is slow and meticulous…..The end result is timeless and elegant, but getting it to look this effortless is a long process of precision and patience.

Some habits stick for life. I was raised to always bring the trash cans up — mine or not! We usually arrive between 10–10:30 AM, so if we see yours are empty, we’ll put them back where they belong. Most of the time we’re working out of the garage anyway, so it’s just the right thing to do. 🗑️✨
Nearly 50 individual wood slats spaced. Over 900 feet of caulking (that’s almost one full lap around a 🏃in Track and Field 👀). Finished in Iron Ore by Sherwin-Williams.
It might look simple, but sometimes the most minimal designs are the most demanding. Precision. Patience. Payoff. 💥

This coffered ceiling was all about balance, precision, and bold detail.
