Decided to decorate the entry hallway walls with panel moudling and I think the result came out pretty good. Wasn't sure if i will be able to do it but this forum has been very helpful to ask questions every time i got stuck.
I think it came out very good and has truly transformed the space.
Hopefully my effort inspire other people to take up similar projects as well.

Steps
Step 1
- Took the measurements of the walls and draw a rough plan on paper.
- Marked out the outlines on the walls to get an idea on how it looks. Really recommend Stanley 1200mm High Impact ABS Resin Spirit Level - Bunnings Australia.
- Locate the studs and use a tape or similar to mark out the location.
- Cut the pine mould to size. Pine mould used is Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine - Bunnings Australia
- I used the craftright mitre box to cut the pine Craftright Mitre Box And Saw Set - Bunnings Australia
- Stick the mould on the wall along the pencil lining. I used selley fast grab liquid and Nailed them into the studs using a Ryobi Brad nailer. The vertical panels I only used glue as they did not line up with the studs. Fill the holes with wood filler.
- I ended up with joints between the moulds so used Timbermate wood filler. A tip would be to use this as little as possible. I was quite generous initially and it became a time consuming task to sand it all down.
- For the chair rail install would really recommend using a laser level to get your line. i used 66 x 11mm 5.4m Moulding White Pine FJ Primed Colonial SA1 - Bunnings Australia.
- Double check the chair rail height from the top of skirting is consistent all the way through. use the stanley spirit level as it also has a ruler. This is to make sure you get it a perfect horizontal on the chair rail.
- Taped around the pine to prime it. Remove the tape when the primer is dry.

Hello @Ngupta1822
Choosing timber moulding for your wainscoting is like choosing paint for your wall it is very personal. I propose visiting your local store and having a look at the timber moulding available and choosing a size that you think is just right for you. For example, the Porta 18x11mm 2.4m Insert Mould Clear Pine has a small body but a very pronounced profile. This makes it easy to see and will cast a tall shadow when installed on your wall.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @Ngupta1822
The size 11/16 inch x 1 3/8 inch converts to approximately 17.5mm x 35mm. Which is close to Porta 30x12mm 2.4m Panel Mould Clear Pine.
