Beach house: Part 5 -- the wainscoting

 


Some parts are more tedious than others, like painting a lot of little sticks.  These are stir sticks and I needed almost 90 painted white for my wainscoting.  I did them in three bunches.


I also did the baseboards, painted white.



Before gluing the walls together, I cut and glued on all the little boards.  Again, the miter shears were essential.  This one is the "Easy Cutter" from Midwest Products Co. and is super easy to use for straight and angle cuts.  


And then it was done!  Here are my walls!



To complete the back wall right up to the edge, I glued on the strips over-hanging the wall and then used a knife to cut away flush to the edge.  Now I only have to fill 2 small slits to fill once the walls are glued together. 






Next:  gluing the room together!
