When we bought this lovely mid-century modern house a few years ago, my only real complaint was “I hate that fucking wall!”
Short term solution was to bury it behind bookshelves, but it’s still there… LURKING. It irks me just knowing it’s still there, that half-assed wainscoting made of plywood strips and blue paint.
At a minimum, my plan is to pull the plywood off and re-paint before putting the bookracks back, but there has to be something nicer.
Maybe something like this above the bookracks where the wall is exposed? I dunno. I’m open to ideas.
I had a wall like this in the basement of my old house, behind it was cement and the 2x4s and drywall didnt start till above it. I started to take it down and realized it was better then the cement and put it back up and painted it. Sometimes one ugly is better then another.
