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!!

[@eyesea123]

It looks amazing! I have wanted to do this for so long. Thank you for sharing your technique. Beautiful!

[@franceslovato9842]

One of the best DIY videos I’ve watched and I’ve watched a lot of them. This was GREAT!

[@normavargass]

Aww thanks so much 🤗

[@infiniti2015]

Excellent work and video. Looks great!

[@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.

[@raycarter6037]

Looks beautiful, great job, 👏 👏👏👏and congratulations I’m just in the process of doing my Daughters living room, 😊

[@A.J...]

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

[@normavargass]

Thanks!

[@JackHenry1776]

Well done ladies!

[@stay_cee]

[@normavargass]

Thank you!!😊

[@SJ.77]

Awesome job and loadsa great tips....just ordered my nail gun....so will be coming back here to revise all your lessons! thanks so much! 😁

[@normavargass]

Oh yay!!’ You got this!!! Thank you!!! 🙂❤️

[@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

[@normavargass]

Thank you so much!!! We are newbies, had no idea what we where getting our selves into lol. You got this!! 🤗

[@jessicarios3242]

Beautiful and very inspiring! At what height from the floor did you place the chair rail? Also can you share what chair rail you used?

[@LinzseyslilPad]

Looks fantastic!!!!

[@normavargass]

Ty!! 💕

[@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?

[@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?

[@Cryptony1975]

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

[@sparks4811]

Beautiful❤. Can you please tell me your wall colour code?

[@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 😊

[@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

[@namivirus]

Thank you so much!

[@Hit173]

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

[@kimkhiev4480]

Hi, what is the color of your dining room wall?

[@JulianHerrera-dm1bj]

what nail gun size did you use?

[@user-dl1be3sg5z]

Thank you for explaining it on a kindergarten level for me

[@normavargass]

Aww 😄 glad you understood and enjoyed watching, Ty💕

[@javedmahamoodally3161]

What is the size of your smaller bottom square?

[@naptownfireman]

Lots of online websites that let you put your dimensions of your wal in and calculates your box sizes 😊

[@brendamendoza4904]

Felicidades me encanto tu proyecto y que buen tutorial

[@normavargass]

Muchas gracias🤗

[@pinkshadow7]

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

[@jwonderfulsuccess]

Good job 🙂🙏

[@patsygoddard2791]

Love it

[@normavargass]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@Joeljuma-rl2sf]

What's are the tools we need

[@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’ ☺️

[@foxykayy5073]

Love the wainscoting in your dining room. Do you mind sharing what color is the paint that you used in the dining room?

[@normavargass]

Thank you!! I think we did pretty good for our first time 😁 we used swirling smoke by PPG paints 😊

[@JonathanPadilla-hy5ip]

I was about to ask the same question . Thank you love it looks great

[@SuperLeena79]

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

[@normavargass]

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 🤗❤️

[@roadcoadog]

WOW

[@keregamelville4334]

@FinishCarpentryTV can you review this? Results look professional. Maybe they watched your channel.

[@normavargass]

lol I learned from my dad😊

[@nuthingness]

That is so beautiful- great job! What is the paint brand and color if I may ask?

[@normavargass]

Thanks! Wall paint is by PPG color is Swirling Smoke

[@nuthingness]

Thanks so much Norma! and thank you for creating such a helpful video! 😊

[@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!!! ☺️

[@ajitmehta3441]

Which strip size you use for long horizontal , ( other than square box )

[@normavargass]

That’s a chair rail moulding hope this link works 👇🏼 😊 www.homedepot.ca/product/alexandria-moulding-5-8-inch-x-1-3-4-inch-colonial-mdf-primed-fibreboard-chair-rail-moulding/1000431456

[@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]

@@dianacastillo143 no worries sorry I wasn’t much help! 😕 Happy holidays!

[@NG-jd1gs]

Pin nailer will save you from patching the holes. The paint covers them cuz they are so small just fyi

[@normavargass]

Good to know!! Thanks!!

[@liliasneutrallifestyle]

What color did you paint it? It’s so beautiful

[@normavargass]

Thank you!! It’s Swirling Smoke by PPG paints and stains 😊

[@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.

[@kaverir.pillai2720]

Hi can we use regular wall paint on the wainscoting?

[@normavargass]

Yes you may, make sure you prime it first or else it won’t stay on. 🙂

[@marcog6470]

What color did you use? I like it, is it a flat or satin?

[@normavargass]

Thank you! We used Swirling Smoke by PPG stains 😊 (flat)

[@OhSoKiaraaa]

Where is your chandelier from?

[@normavargass]

It’s from Amazon! I’ll link it below 😊 amzn.to/3OMZaX2

[@raheelazafar8766]

Can you please share the name of the paint colour?

[@normavargass]

Hi!! Yes it’s Swirlimg Smoke by PPG 😊

[@827mari]

What paint color did you use

[@normavargass]

It’s called Swirling Smoke by PPG Paints

[@jamie23143]

What color is that on the walls?

[@normavargass]

Hii! We used Swirling Smoke by PPG paints and stains and it’s flat no shine

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

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!!

[@shannon8439]

Why did she multiply by 12?

[@HendrasicaWidihastuti]

This is also my question 🤔

[@Dexstardan]

calculation is off

[@animal1064]
