What do you do when the walls in your 1/2 bath show water drips and you love flat paint? Install wainscoting and paint it with enamel paint.
For this project, I opted for a faux wainscoting treatment since a real wainscoting would turn this small project into a larger, more expensive project. It's real wood chair rail and real wood panel molding installed on top of sheetrock.
By painting it the trim color, the wainscoting compliments the traditional style of the home, adds architectural interest and makes the bathroom feel larger. Walls and ceiling painted with soft khaki complete the look and take this once shabby 1/2 bath to stylish and chic!
