Wainscoting Question

[daydreamer]

Hey, WH - how's this project going? I'd love to be able to do something like this in the future.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Good thing you don't have any say.

Timing

Sorry, wainscoting happens to be my expertise and i came across the post. i figured if i can come across it, other people who are in need of this information can.

We are painting the top half of the kitchen and hallway a creamy gold color and putting white wainscoting on the bottom for a country cottage look.

My question is the height of the wainscoting. DH said that we should go doorknob height but I'm looking for more of a country look and I want to go higher but with only 7ft or 8ft( I'm not sure) ceilings I'm not sure how high I should go.

Any suggestions?

Origanily it was to the top of a chair to prevent the chair from rubbing the wall plaster and leaving marks. The rail or top to wainscoting used to be called a chair rail.
But now a days...usually 36-48" high.
