Half bath has wainscoating and looking for finish ideas other than simple solid paint. Maybe some type of glaze or antique finish.

what is the wainscoting? just the wall area below a chair rail, or is it beadboard or grooved paneling or raised paneling or what? what will be above the wainscot? what style of decor do you have/want?

The wainscoating is made of bead board. Above the waiscoat is slate tile with a dark green wall paint. All the trim is white so we are looking to add something to the white beadboard to kill some of the white assuming that we will use the green color. Have seen "glazes" advertised for this purpose but have never done this type of painting.
