Woodwork, Paneling & Wainscot
See dozens of specialty sources who can supply trim lumber, wainscot and paneling, period mouldings, and wood finishes, all to enhance your bungalow, Foursquare, Tudor, or Arts & Crafts house.
Starting With the Details
This is the story of a new, well integrated kitchen—and the back of the house. While the street façade of the 1910 home remained unchanged, the rear was reconfigured to provide a second entry, larger kitchen and family room, and a deck.
For Your Walls
This Expo is a comprehensive list of contemporary sources for wallcoverings, paint and specialty finishes, paneling and wainscot. These materials are suitable for Bungalows and Craftsman houses, for Tudors, Spanish Revival and California homes, and for new buildings of the Arts & Crafts Revival.
Wood Wainscot Revival
A wainscot (on the lower part of the wall) gives a room depth and character. That’s especially true for formal or public spaces like a dining room or entry foyer in a bungalow, Foursquare, or Tudor Revival—or in any house of the Arts & Crafts Revival.
What to do With the Walls?
If you’re reading this, you probably already know something about beadboard in the bathroom and a high wainscot in the dining room, deep wallpaper friezes, and rich Arts & Crafts-era colors. The period itself, however, saw many varied wall and ceiling treatments not always considered in strict “bungalow revival” interiors.
