Lynne Collins Stratford is part of a family steeped in real estate. Growing up in Westwood, MA, she always had a hand in supporting her family’s real estate transactions, whether offering interior design advice or nailing in hardwood floors. At age 18, she started out on her official real estate career and has not looked back since. Over thirty four years, she has achieved considerable success in selling and appraising residential, multi-tenant, and small commercial properties in Middlesex, Plymouth, Norfolk and Suffolk Counties. Throughout her career, she has trained with nationally recognized companies such as Coldwell Banker and Century 21 and eventually founded her own real estate firm Boston Choice Realty. As a dedicated real estate professional, Lynne is known for her restless drive, honesty, straightforward approach with clients, and expert negotiation skills.

Of the over 40,000 active real estate licensures in Massachusetts, only 1,578 have earned their GRI. Lynne has lived in Needham, MA for 25 years with her four children. She enjoys golf, the beach, reading, live music and spending time with family and friends.

Anatomy of Board and Batten and Wainscoting Styles

This technical illustration demonstrates the anatomical structure of traditional interior wall molding—specifically wainscoting and board and batten systems—while highlighting four distinct panel variations. The diagram uses a breakdown format to isolate the universal framework elements (horizontal rails, vertical stiles, and decorative trim pieces) and shows how different center inserts can completely change the architectural style of a room.

Key Components

Cap: The top-most decorative molding profile that crowns the entire installation, providing a finished ledge.

Upper Rail: The top horizontal board of the main framework that ties the vertical pieces together and meets the cap.

Stile: The vertical boards that space out the design, creating the boundaries for individual sections or panels.

Lower Rail: The bottom horizontal board of the framework, which sits just above the floor trim or baseboard area.

Shoe Trim: A small decorative molding piece attached to the very bottom of the lower rail to create a seamless transition to the floor line.

Panel Variants: The inner face of each section, illustrated here in four distinct styles:

Beaded Panel: Vertical tongue-and-groove boards featuring a decorative bead indentation line down each plank.

Raised Panel: A traditional insert where the center surface is elevated and sloped down to the edges.

Flat Panel: A minimalist approach featuring a completely flat recessed center surface (commonly referred to as Shaker style).

No Panel: An application where the existing smooth drywall serves as the center backdrop, framed only by the rails and stiles.

Design Summary

Overall, the graphic serves as an educational guide to the carpentry terms and structural layers required to build wall paneling. By standardizing the outer frame components—the cap, upper rail, lower rail, stiles, and shoe trim—the visual clarifies that the fundamental engineering of these wall systems remains identical, leaving the stylistic distinction entirely up to the chosen inner panel texture.
