This was a project that took me about 4 weekends. Last year I installed the French doors. I decided that this was the year to finish them and the rest of my wife's office with a custom Wainscotting, based off the farmhouse style. In order to keep it cheap, I used 4' x 8' sheets of 3/4" mdf. I would then rip them to the width of my choosing, based upon design. Overall, I used 4 4'x8' 1/4" plywood (for backing), I used 5 4'x8' 3/4" mdf... At a cost of $29/sheet. After installation, filling holes and seams, I primed then painted using a spray gun. Total cost: about $350. The room is much more rich, and really lightens up the space.
