We added tons of wood products to the bathroom over the weekend. It was totally a step in the right direction and it started to pull the bathroom together. Which wood products you may ask - 1) Trim trim and more trim & 2) Vanity and top!
1) During one of our Home Depot visits last week we picked up some trim and held it up along the bead board to make sure we liked the profiles before purchasing the total amount needed. We loved the 'chair rail'! It added so much dimension. There wasn't much of a selection for base, so we picked up one of the cheapest. It didn't live up to the chair rail - the 4" base was dwarfed by our 'in charge' chair rail. We needed something taller.
We returned to Home Depot (for probably the 10th time in a week) to purchase our trim on Saturday. We came home with our chair rail, a 6" base, and some casing for around the door. Sunday morning, after several mugs of coffee, Hubs got to work cutting and nailing each piece of trim. Like the rest of the projects, all the cutting was done inside. The shop vac helped, but there was definitely some saw dust to clean up.

2) Saturday purchases wouldn't be complete without ... a new vanity too! During our trip to purchase our trim I fell in love with a On Sale $299 36" Vanity with lovely drawers, a shelf, and a mirror. We were there to purchase a different one, but I loved this On Sale vanity. We knew it would be tight so we headed home to double check the dimensions before purchasing it. Unfortunately, it was too big. Sad Face, Tear. So, we headed back to Home Depot to look at the vanity we originally decided to purchase. We still loved it with its strong features to compliment the trim. So, in the cart it went! We also came home with a Moen faucet and a new P-trap (plumbing).
We opened the box and a smile came to my face. We moved it into the bathroom and I was giddy with joy. It is awesome!

It was late on Sunday by the time we got all this work done. This is what Grouper was feeling ...
