Every time I see one of those old movies filmed in the interior of a ''grand estate''... I''ll sometimes see hallways with arched ceilings that have been paneled. It is a look that kills me. Absolutely cool looking. Hardly anyone builds this way anymore. And then an opportunity showed up (albeit, on a more humble scale AND these passageways were arched already... but I enjoyed paneling them anyway). We paneled and wrapped casings on a pair of these passageways (and built the wainscot) using (man-made) flex moldings. They are available with matching profiles to popular, straight-run moldings where I live. Since it was a paint job, we simply applied frames to the walls and ceilings (which became the panels). This also makes the project more affordable.
Having a few photos of this work would help convince others to consider it. Our website is being rebuilt. Check it out if you''d like.
