Wainscoting (pronounced Wayne-skoating) is when a portion of the wall is sheathed in an alternative material. In colonial America, the WHOLE wall was sheathed, but the term is usually used now to describe instances where the lower portion of the wall is sheathed.
 
In this photo paneling is used, but wainscoting can be any number of materials ... tile in bathrooms, beadboard for a casual, cottage look in a Breakfast Room, or elaborately sculpted and embellished paneling for a very formal look --- usually seen in formal Dining Rooms or Gallery Hallways.

This is a very desirable feature to many buyers, so if your home has wainscoting, you want to be sure that it is appropriately highlighted in the property's marketing materials. 

In a SMARTePLAN wainscoting is both depicted in the floor plan drawing, as well as described in detail in the amenities text  (room-by-room text description of each room).  Both the floor plan w/embedded photos and the amenities text are available online as part of the MLS listing 24/7 for the life of the listing.

======
SMARTePLANS are detailed floor plans that have photos embedded inside that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room). All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions. This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not.

You can view sample SMARTePLANS  on my web page at www.smarteplans.com
