Cal Posted July 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Bob, while not the bible of trimwork the book I did get has provided me with a lot of information and ideas. In the wainscoting section, on page 150 is a picture showing it to extend further up the wall. That is interesting, as in the glossary they define it as "any trim structure installed in the area between a baseboard and a chair rail". Cal Edit - after looking at the pic below I just noticed the author's name... Wayne's book I reckon!!!

Gene Howe Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Pictured wall treatment is for really high backed chairs, then. Cal and HARO50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen it much higher than 1/3, but I guess personal tastes vary. It's not a look I want, though. Either chair-rail height or right to the ceiling!

HARO50 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 In THAT room, @Grandpadave52, and with THAT chair, chair-rail height WOULD be 1/3 of the way up! John Cal and Grandpadave52 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hargis Jr said: Take solace in the fact that's only one of many, many, things that are incorrect on most of those shows. Including some of the work. I used to shake my head at the program where two couples would redecorate a room in each other's homes, with the help of a "designer" (not a builder). Or the "we're going to flip this house in six weeks and make a ton of money," that goes on for six months and usually has a "Load-bearing wall? What's that?" sprinkled somewhere among the surprise finds of termites, water damage on the foundation, or plumbing & electrical problems. And you will notice they never show close ups of the "after." Gene Howe, HARO50 and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
