I realize that I live oh, maybe 20 minutes from the American border and I should know this.

OK, it’s exactly 42 inches.Several sources suggested you bring wainscoting up the wall 32-36 inches, but ours will go up 42, cause I just think it looks better.. You can see I have a lot of work to do with the white paint still.

It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so that should make for a good painting day.Those railings take forever!.This pillar was already here, but I love it, so it’s going to stay just the same.

It’s pretty small in this hall so there isn’t much room for a table or bench.This pillar gives me somewhere to put some flowers or whatever I think is seasonally necessary, decorating-wise.. That’s what we’ve got so far!

Up next, more white paint, installing the wainscotting, and then choosing some sort of contrasting color for the top half of the walls.The other night I needed a little pick-me-up.

I was thinking about different decorating projects I could do, but then reminding myself that I need to tackle the bigger stuff first (which I have been, believe-you-me), but then feeling like I just wish I could be “done” one little room so I could actually just play around in it, but then realizing that it was going to take a little while and not to waste my time creating a bunch of decorations that just aren’t going to work in the final room anyway.. It’s a noisy place inside my head..Everything else was stuff that I had on hand!.

This project also only took maybe 20 minutes from start to finish.That makes it a winner in my books!.
