The bathroom is done. Done I tell you. We picked out the trim to match our existing molding. Matt used his trusty miter box and we were trim cutting fools. We just measured, marked the boards and cut away. John from Young House Love has a great tutorial that we referenced a lot. We were both surprised how great the miter box worked. We thought it was going to be a huge pain without the miter saw. With a little elbow grease it was easy peasy.

It helps if you have a good helper.

 

Unfortunately, our crooked walls won again. We had intended to only trim around the tub. Since there was a noticeable gap from the tile to trim we added a cap piece.

Same as before, measure, mark, cut trim, glue and nail down. It was relatively painless. A little country white paint and this place is looking pretty spiffy.

So here’s the big reveal:

Before:

After:

You remember how I said the room was done right? Well, that may have been a teensy lie fib. We’re not replacing the bathtub fixture just yet. If you haven’t checked the listings lately, they run $200-300. We’ll put that on our wish list and hopefully get it added in the coming months. I can deal with it for now.
