I really like how you painted the roof brackets a dark brown color. It contrasts beautifully with the light trim.

I can not find many looking like our but there is another one very similar built in 1910 few blocks away.

It sounds like you are making the right decision by replacing the trim in your dining room, particularly if it is in such poor shape. The wood panels are very close to the same width all around our dining room, although they cheat a little (by a few inches) in the corners. Good luck with your project! These old houses are a labor of love. Keep in touch and let us know how your dining room project turns out. Aw, thanks!

I was looking on web for pictures of interiors to get some ideas for our house and happened to find your picture, so I followed the link to see your site and fell in love with it! You two doing a great job! We have some original Waine's coating on our dinning room and kitchen walls. We do not touch kitchen yet, but starting dinning room. We plan to remove original boards of Wainscoat to replace them with panels like yours. Our boards (like yours in bathroom - just individual vertical boards stuck together) are painted over and some are badly damaged by people not being carefull with installing electric outlets. So I don't want to spend lots of time stripping paint from boards that are not worth it. But we intend to keep (where possible) the upper head (?) board and all the door and window casing. Planning that I faced a problem - we can not have those panels all same width on all the walls. I think we would have to keep them same width within each single wall stretch but they will differ up to 2 inches in width with other walls. So looking at your dinning room picture made me wonder if all your Wainscoat panels are same width around all the walls in the room? Guys, your dinning room is amaizing!

It was built in 1913. The living room and dining room are almost identical to yours. The previous owner began restoration on the wood but didn't finish. We intend to finish. I wrote this comment to see if we could get in contact with you guys for some general counceling on the great task at hand. I see it has been several years since these posts were made and we wanted to check and see if it was still active. If so please email back at niqueys2000@yahoo.com.

We have a 1904, story and a half home and want to "re-do" the kitchen. We recently removed the "dropped" ceiling, exposing the high 11 foot ceiling. I'm trying to find where to find pictures to see what the kitchen originally looked like. Your website was a help. Thank you. I was glad to find our website.

You have done a terrific job! what a difference! we are currently working on our 1923 bungalow but we were very lucky because no one had painted over any of the extensive woodwork throughout the house! I do have to remove a lot of this woodwork to put up new walls, but I intend to put all the woodwork right back where it belongs. Oh my gosh!

I see you posted your comment a long time ago and I just saw it today. David and I would LOVE to see any old photos of the house or your family that you would like to share. It is wonderful for us to be in contact with your family. You are more than welcome to stop by and see the house anytime. We still have a lot of work yet to do but it might be interesting for you to see the house. I think you might be surprised with how small it actually for your great grandparents, grandparents and two twin boys to have all lived here. Please contact us any time.
