DIY Wainscoting Part 2 – Installing Wainscoting Around A Vanity

I nonetheless don’t have any of the partitions in the primary a part of our grasp toilet totally completed, however I’m making just right growth on them. I shared the primary a part of this undertaking a few weeks in the past. For those who overlooked that put up, you’ll to find it right here: DIY Wainscoting Part 1 — The Anatomy Of Judge’s Paneling With Tile Accent (Bathroom Walls). Right here’s what the fundamental design of that wainscoting seems like. The band of plywood is the place the accessory tile might be added, and the remainder of it is going to be painted forged white.

Now that the counter tops had been put in, I’ve been operating on sporting that wainscoting over to the opposite facet of the door, and wrapping it across the countertop. And hoping and praying that I did all of my making plans and calculations as it should be in order that it will go with the flow from one facet of the door to the opposite facet, and wrap across the countertop as a backsplash, steadily and flawlessly.

For those who’ll consider, slightly below the plywood strip that may act as a backer for the accessory tile, I added a strip of wooden (it began as a 1″ x 2″ piece of lumber, and I ripped it down into 3/4-inch-wide strips), after which added an ornamental trim on best. The entire function of this strip was once to take in the width of the countertop that will be put in at the different facet of the door. In different phrases, that 3/4-inch strip would lifeless finish into the brink of the three/4-inch-thick countertop.

After which at the spaces the place there’s no countertop, the accessory tile might be put in simply above that trim. However across the countertop, the tile will sit down proper at the countertop with none trim underneath.

If that’s transparent as dust, I now have a visible that I am hoping will transparent issues up for you. You’ll be able to see within the picture underneath how that 3/4-inch trim runs proper into the brink of the countertop. However the plywood (which, once more, is the backer for the accessory tile) runs steadily across the wall and proper on best of the countertop to create the tile backsplash.

(FYI, for the ones of you perplexed in regards to the door, it got here with the panes lined in plastic and pre-primed. So all of that primer is at the plastic, which is well minimize away after the door is painted.)

Right here’s every other take a look at it wrapping across the nook and underneath the replicate.

After which I persisted on with the remainder of the wainscoting elements to complete off all the trim element. Once more, for those who overlooked the put up the place I went over all the information about the trim items that have been used, you can click here to find that information.

So whilst it nonetheless wishes a large number of completing (sanding, grouting, priming, sanding, and tiling), you’ll begin to see the total design take form. And let me let you know, I breathed an enormous sigh of reduction after I noticed that every one of my calculations and measurements and making plans labored out simply as they must.

It received’t be an excessive amount of longer ahead of I’ll have a large segment of wall completed, and I’ll be capable to see this complete imaginative and prescient come to lifestyles.
