I have
REALLY tall wall that goes up to our 2nd story's eaves.
Not exact matches
Since a chair rail isn't
really necessary in a hallway (where there are no chairs), I would remove it and install beadboard, six and a half feet
tall, up onto the
walls.
We chose to put the hole in the
wall (vs. the door) because we didn't want to damage the (extra
tall, solid wood, special order) door (if necessary, repairing that little square of drywall would be less expensive) and I liked the idea of the hole blending in with the plate collection (vs.
really standing out in the center of the door).
I used a piece of scrap wood to make it look like the windows are actually
taller than they
really are, and so it doesn't just look like two blinds mounted to the
wall anymore...
The ceilings are ten feet
tall on this level and it's
really difficult to figure how to decorate with all that
wall space!
The only problem is that while our entrance is a very tiny space, the
wall space in the stairwell is
really tall.
