[@AvecPoesie]

I have been desperately trying to find a video that is as thorough and informative on this process as THIS video is! Thank you!

[@normavargass]

Thank you, glad you came across my video and found it helpful 🤗

[@sarahcovell1169]

The way you did the wainscotting is so pleasing and well proportioned. Really like the square in square

[@normavargass]

Thank you!!! I love how it turned out as well! ❤️🤗

[@glendashine9468]

You gave us soooo many wonderful tips, thank you! The math equations you gave are priceless. Everything is so beautiful. You were brilliant to keep with your wall cover.

[@normavargass]

Thank you so much!!

[@fairy359]

This is exactly the video i needed!! It's so hard to find a nested wainscoting on a textured wall. Great job and the room looks amazing!!

[@normavargass]

Thank you so much 😊

[@janetbof4]

May I ask for clarification. I want to do this but we have what’s called knockdown textured walls. Her walls look smooth to me, but if I’m wrong that gives me hope I can do on my walls. What do you mean by nested wainscoting on textured walls? Thank you.

[@franceslovato9842]

I love how you thoroughly give details on your work (The process) & how you explain the products that are used on your projects. New subscriber!

I heard the security chime and checked all the doors of my house thinking who came in or went out when I'm the only one here. Came back, rewinded and resumed the video and I heard it again, and so it was from the video at 7:35.. LOL!!!!

[@normavargass]

@@bhejafry7497 oh gosh so funny, I would of been so frightened 🤭

[@Hit173]

You guys can make it eaiser for ya self and use a wainscoting calculator. It does the whole layout and measurements.

[@sbtgirl5618]

This video has been extremely helpful!! Omg . Thank you! I am going to be trying this with my husband. We need to remodel on a budget and we’re both newbies to this lol

[@victorshaw7173]

12:21 you cannot cover electrical boxes with drywall. You have to move it to be to code.

[@namivirus]

Such a beautiful look, I’m so glad I came across this video! Thanks for being so thorough. The wall colors are lovely - mind sharing the wall and trim paint brand & colors?

[@normavargass]

Thank you so much!!! Pain is by PPG stains and the name is Swirling Smoke flat

What was the paint shade? This is the best molding design I have ever seen. Putting them in two lines makes them much more gorgeous than single line molding.

[@anastasiyastar4]

Amazing 🤩 Could you please share if you use any putty for joints? Did you attach everything with glue only or with nails too?

[@normavargass]

@@anastasiyastar4 hi there! We used white cocking on nails and cracks to fill in the joints. Then paint over it. 😊hope this helps,

[@acacct]

would you please tell me how height of your chair rail from the floor, thank you so very very much, you did a great job, I love your video. Thank you again.

Hi! Loved your wall! I actually copied your design! Thanks for the great video. Do you mind sharing where your chandelier is from?

Oh nice! Glad to have inspired you! It’s from Amazon, link can be found on my Amazon store front! Description box! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤗❤️

[@dianacastillo143]

Hello love the video very helpful, in regards to the trim/molding in the middle of the wall which one did you use? Do you mind sharing the size of it?

[@normavargass]

Hi! Thank you, glad you found my video helpful! If you fast forward to 3:05 I show the store label with name, price and detail of the trim from Home Depot ☺️ hope this helps! 🙂

[@dianacastillo143]

Hello again sorry I am referring to the thicker molding in the middle of your wall it seems like you had installed before adding the additional 2 moldings

[@normavargass]

@@dianacastillo143 ah yes! That was previously installed by the builder when we built our home. It’s called a chair rail but that’s all I know. Sorry I wasn’t much help. I’m sure you’ll find similiar at your local hardware store 😊

[@dianacastillo143]

No worries thank you I appreciate the quick reply 😊

[@normavargass]

[@SIGroupLLC]

Beautiful! Quick Question: In the corners, did you space 4 inches on each wall or is it 2 inches to make 4 total?

[@katiealam6565]

Thanks you for this video" please can you share the paint name and brand you used please 😊

[@normavargass]

[@A.J...]

Such an amazing DIY !!! 😃👏 Love this, Love your videos !!! 🫶

[@normavargass]

Thanks!

[@kiddywriter]

Math is not my forte…so I’m probably missing something here. If you multiply the 4 boxes (27.5x4) you get 110. Space between each box is 4 inches which you multiply by 5 and that equals 20. If you add 110 plus 20 that equals 130. Your wall width is 131 1/8. What about the remaining 1 1/8 inch?

[@universeattracts9946]

Was looking for this comment! I calculated this so many times and the math ain’t mathing 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Cryptony1975]

My issue is the cutting of the angles or miters. How do you measure? Any video on that will help

[@surfhawaiiwaves]

Looks amazing!!! Can’t believe it! We are going to do this in our office. Can’t wait! Thank you for the detail explanation. Btw, how high is your ceiling?

[@MrMowork32]

Very well done! I’m about to do this myself. How did you determine what size the box was to be for the small wall?

[@normavargass]

Thank you!! Yes give it a try, very simple! Forward to 5:40 and explains everything

[@normavargass]

For small wall I measured the wall and centered a square that should leave you with even space on all 4 sides

[@MrMowork32]

Thank you very much for the reply!

[@kariplacide3190]

Beautiful how many of the wood trim did you purchase for this project?

[@normavargass]

Thank you!!! We pre cut all of them, saves you money!!! ☺️

[@MonroeSmithManor]

[@MrsM.111]

What’s the machine you use to fix the pieces ? I used only glue and it was so difficult because I had to wait for it to dry and it was slipping down 😅

[@jwonderfulsuccess]

Good job 🙂🙏

[@patadams9250]

Great job!

[@syl1382]

Great job Norma and hubby! 👏 You guys are adorable! Norma, what made you want to double frame each square? Looks gorgeous in your space! I’m doing my living room wall, but it will be single squares. I’m so glad you showed us your exact (outer wider) trim bc I didn’t know what type to use. Do you think that will look good even making single squares vs double like yours? Awesome video! 💗

[@normavargass]

Thank you!!!☺️💕 after looking at several styles and videos online I felt like the double frame was it for me lol Single frames will look perfect in your living room, you’ll be surprised of the transformation results! I would love to see how it looks after it’s completed! Send me a dm on my ig @normaavargas 😊

[@nietszcha]

Waw thank you Norma, your video is very useful and informative. Just a quick question any specific type of paint to coat the whole wall surface? What an amazing DIY you did there :) Love it

[@normavargass]

Thank you!!!! I love it too’ 🤗 So for the paint we used the exact same thing that was used previously, nothing changes. You can use any paint for it as long as you prime the trim first, that’s a very important step you don’t want to miss or the paint won’t stay’ ☺️

Love how this turned out! Your video really inspired me to do this to my dining room! Just wondering, what was the name of chair rail moulding use? (The long straight one that is separating the upper and lower portions in the middle) Thanks! :)

[@normavargass]

Thank you so much! So that rail was installed when we built our home, it’s called LWM 390 11/16 in. x 2-1/2 in. Wood Primed Pine Finger ALEXANDRIA you can find it at Home Depot

[@nea3090]

Did you leave the dry wall texture or did you put plywood to make the wall smooth?

[@normavargass]

No we left the dry wall texture, we did another wall by stairs where we wanted a smooth finish so we added plywood.

Question. I’m going to do this to my dining room. What size nails did you use and does it matter if you hit a stud or just the nail in dry wall enough to keep it on wall. ?

[@normavargass]

So you won’t need to nail this to the stud, all you need is 1” 1/2 inch nails I would used 2 in the mid center and 1 on each end of the trim and that’ll do!! 🤗 hope this helps!!

Hey, can I ask why you multiplied by 12 at the beginning?

[@normavargass]

@@NukhbaMir this is a formula we found online. We looked up wainscoting calculator and we followed all instructions 😊

[@NukhbaMir]

@ would you mind sharing the link to the online calculator x

[@sheoran82]

She measured in feet, which is 12 inches. Her spacing square was 3.5” (inches). So to get the accurate measurement, she multiplied the width of the wall by 12 to get all dimensions in inches. Then subtracted the spacing.
