In Progress....................Finished!
 
This was a diningroom in a 100 year old farmhouse. The owner had removed the mantle and hearth frame and wanted to cover over where the old woodstove had been. The existing wallpaper was removed, a plaster product was used to cover the lath and then the chair rail was installed. The walls were then lined with a bridging liner. The paper on the upper half is a vinyl print. Below the chair rail is a paper called Lincrusta, a textured pulp paper. It was primed and then painted the same color as the chair rail and trim moldings. Then a coat of pale green was applied, and wiped off, leaving the just a sheen of the green on the raised part of the paper, but the true color in the grooves. The ceiling was later papered with Anaglypta.
It truly changed this room from dark and grungy to a beautiful, bright formal dining room.
