Door Trim, Baseboard, and Wainscoting

In order to make the walls in the master bedroom look a little more "complete", I decided spend today working on finishing the wainscoting on the wall backed up to the bathroom whirlpool.  We did this because we needed to leave access to the underside of the whirlpool, and having a piece of wainscoting that slides up behind the chair rail and then drops down behind the baseboard was a really nice way to hide the fact that these panels are removable.

In order to do this, I had to first put up the trim around the doors that border the wainscoting so that the exact sizes of the panels, the chair rail, and the baseboard could be determined.  Then, I had to put up the panels, followed by the chair rail (made specially to fit the panels up behind), and finally, the baseboard.

With baby blue walls and white wainscoting (not to mention the dark trim), the finished product looks sort of like a beach house...  It is really looking nice!

We also put the sink and toilet into the half bath (should I say powder room), and that is looking pretty nice also.

While I was working, my wife went around and put in light bulbs.  The electric cooperative was nice to provide us with the energy efficient lights we needed since it is a new construction.

My wife was gracious enough to provide us with some pictures again today...

Far side of master bedroom -- French doors open to the deck (left) and the pocket door on the right goes into the bathroom...  The whirlpool is behind that wall.

Same wall, bathroom door is closed, and the closet door is opened.

Powder room sink...

Sconces on the master bedroom wall -- the bed will be centered between them with the switch conveniently located on His side ;)

Access panel removed -- underside of the whirlpool exposed.
