>planning on building a Georgian/Federal style house
>want the inside to be wood/paneling only

Would this look retarded? I know these houses normally have stucco for the walls, but I hate the look of Stucco/sheerock.

It could easily look overdone.
Plaster was used in that time period, so having a mix of wood and wallpaper would be period correct

What do you mean exactly by "overdone". I personally like the minimalist wood interior mostly because its what the house I grew up in had and the maintenance on the walls and such was so much less than sheetrock. Also did they actually have wallpaper that far back? I assumed everything would have been plaster.

Well, I like that look too, it’s just not that time period (of America, anyway).
I believe that time period had rustic ( think ‘log cabin’) for the less affluent, and the sophistared look for those that could hire, and import, the best.
Wallpaper was the upscale look of the time.

The look you show could be part of a modern style, or a log cabin type of style.

When I said overdone, I was thinking of the wood paneling look, which is often seen in a library, or chair-rail height elsewhere.

Yea the log Cabin look is what my parents house had, grated it would be impossible to achieve on a brick house. I really dislike the affluent look of >>1706351

Well, if this isn’t built yet, you could do brick and wood in a number of ways. I’m not an expert, but I think “craftsman” style of homes can do that, if you want to look into them. Frank Lloyd Wright did a few with those materials https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frank_Lloyd_Wright_works

I'm doing a room in my house with sanded plywood. Covering the butt seams with 1x, and making nice raised panels. So that's something you could do for one room. But would be easy to go over the top with throughout the entire house

OP are you planning this floor plan yourself or what? Ive never known anyone to pick out an architectural style they liked and tried to build a house within that, most people just pick some premade plan.

Federal and Georgian style houses typically had smooth plaster walls, typically lime plaster and lath, with wood molding used for chair rails and molding near the floor.
The plaster was typically applied flat and very smoothly.
Colored limewash might be applied on top of the plaster, or coloring mixed with the topcoat, since the lime plaster was applied wet and could take a while to fully dry.
Later, colored pain or wallpaper or fabric might be used to cover the walls, but many houses from the period were subtle with decoration and might be left plain, with walls and molding painted white.
If you want to use wood instead of plaster, frame and panel walls would probably be closer to accurate, but it was not as typical for Federal or Georgian buildings.

The thing I have never been able to figure out is how to incorporate electrical outlets into the walls of older houses without it looking like shit.

>> No.1706992

>>1706777
My recollection is, when houses were electrified, the outlets went in the tallish baseboard.

That porch is an abomination, it needs to be removed and the facade returned to its glory
