Lynn’s DIY Slate Wainscot

Lynn Roberts transformed the curb appeal of her home with a stunning DIY slate wainscot project using GenStone’s Northern Slate Wainscot panels. The project involved adding a stylish and durable accent to the lower portion of her exterior walls, instantly boosting both aesthetics and value.
