In February I began working on my new upstairs bathroom. It was supposed to be ready for toilet/sink/tub installation in May, and I work quite slowly with lots of thoughtful breaks.
I painted the ceiling – White Blush ceiling paint by Benjamin Moore. And I painted the walls the same colour.
I installed baseboard and beadboard and will paint them Jamestown Blue.
The beadboard came as a kit, with baseboard, shoe moulding, beadboard, and top rail.
The baseboard was slightly complicated to install, as the floor tiles were a little uneven and I’m not a carpenter. Also, despite it being a brand new space, the corners are not 90 degrees and some carpentry was required to get the corners as tight as possible. I didn’t do the best job and lots of filler was required. But once that baseboard was in, the beadboard and the rest went in quickly and the overall look is nice.
For this job I purchased a pneumatic nailer and a mitre saw. Sounds like expensive beadboard, but those are tools that I will use often in the next year.
Anyway, I think the beadboard application is good enough and hopefully no one will notice or care about the imperfections and the bathroom is a little closer to completion.
I haven’t painted yet, so will post photos after that.
