Alright, let me try to make this question as simple as possible. I live in the home that I grew up in as a child, and, there were tennants living here for a few years before I moved in. My parents were generous in allowing them to renovate as they liked, but now that I'm here I want to pull my hair out. lol. The kitchen had brick paneling on the lower half, which they painted white, and in turn I have painted back to brick. The dining room however, had wooden panels on the lower half of the wall, including baseboards installed by my great grandfather, and chair rails. The previous tennants painted over the wood panels and chair rails (and, to boot, put the ugliest tackiest wallpaper I have ever seen on the upper half.) I don't have a ton of money to restore this room, but I would like to put it back as close as possible to the way it was. What would be the cheapest, yet still attractive way to fix the wooden panels? Is wainscoting expensive?
