Bathroom Remodel part seven…

Cover the tile with details

All in the details…

Working over the existing tile has been a challenge.  All the details that have been designed in wood have to be finished off site in my shop.  That means every part has to fit or to be adjustable on site by sanding to fit only.  No caulking here!

After installing the basics, the two entrance doors into this space that were flat panel painted just didn’t look good up against the new woodwork.   I am now working on two, four raised panel, cathedral head maple doors to match all the other woodwork to replace the painted existing doors.  One of them has a special venting detail in the kick rail.

More to come…

Woodwork over toiletRaised Panel and Rope

The most eye catching details found in a small space is going to be at eye level. What better place to create the most impressive woodworking detail is above the toilet and vanity. A closed cabinet and a tri-mirror, complete with reed pilasters and rosettes are in order. Maybe even add some figured maple plaques and a raised carving center piece. To complete the tile cover up, how about a raised panel bulkhead.
