What it is, and why it matters.
Wainscoting protects the lower part of a wall where chairs, bags and kids do the most damage, and it adds a layer of warmth to a room. Reclaimed boards give it an unusual, collected look, with a cap rail in contrasting timber to finish it.
We supply boards, milled caps and trim in matching species and tone, with height and layout advice. Nashville homeowners use reclaimed wainscoting in dining rooms, hallways, mudrooms and basement bars, often pairing it with plaster or paint above.

Wainscoting and Half Walls: common questions
How high should wainscoting be?
A common rule is about one third of the wall height, often thirty-two to forty-eight inches. We share examples and help you sketch the proportions.
Can wainscoting go in a bathroom?
In a dry powder room, yes, with sealing. We do not recommend untreated reclaimed boards in wet bathrooms or showers.
