I wanted to take it away from the wall but it rocked no matter what I did to it..so it's back stuck to the wall..now I'm thinking of replacing it with a new counter of some sort?<br />I'll be back to see how your doing with this small space..beadboard sounds good to me!<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652526316321305796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-6346485334350426602010-09-11T23:50:04.900-05:002010-09-11T23:50:04.900-05:00uhhhhh.

I ...Hi Anita, oooh, I see your problem, so tricky. I would probably remove the sink if i could while its possible. You might regret not doing it later on down the track, so i would say number seven also. What is you other half thinking? Iam sure it will work out whatever you do; good luck and let us all know!!<br />Laura currie xxxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809886402117539391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-19975976337587011732010-09-11T09:16:54.823-05:002010-09-11T09:16:54.823-05:00welllll, I do love that batten look. So, if you ar...welllll, I do love that batten look. So, if you are really wanting to do the batten thing, then #6. <br />Otherwise, I'd say #7 because I'm a total beadboard fan. And it will give you a similar look in the room.<br />Can you do the batten on just the wall w/the fixtures & see how it looks before you totally commit either way?Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146377365343300346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-8371398926629716692010-09-11T06:48:23.316-05:002010-09-11T06:48:23.316-05:00Anita, check out how this bathroom looks over at 3...Anita, check out how this bathroom looks over at 33 Shades of Green: http://33shadesofgreen.blogspot.com/2010/08/home-tour-kitchen.html.

In such a small space beadboard might be easier to work with so you're not worrying about the spacing of the boards around all of the fixtures.<br /><br />I think my second choice would be to do the chair-rail with 2 different options on top and bottom. I love stripes but I'd probably do them on the top half!<br /><br />:)Sarah @ Cozy.Cottage.Cute.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03962067954413284646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-38236750839550220342010-09-10T17:33:25.426-05:002010-09-10T17:33:25.426-05:00I would go with number 7.

What a mess you've gotten yoursel...Wow, Anita. <br />What a mess you've gotten yourself into ;)<br />Heehee--you have my permission to say that to me someday!<br />Just kidding *there, there...pat, pat*<br />My sink is caulked to the wall in my half-bath, too.<br />If this were my bath, and I wanted batten, I would start the project on the wall to the outsides of the sink- attatch one 1X2X60" on the left side of the sink, and the other on the right. I know the sink is 24" wide, but then the other 1X2s would have to be that far apart, too-ish.<br />Then measure evenly to the left side of the sink, then the right side of the sink, likewise, measuring around the room, and marking where the 1X2s should go. Adjust a few inches here and there to make them all "even".<br />Then attach top rail at 60", and install 1X2s.<br />The reason I would start at the sides is that you won't have to fiddle with attaching a board in the midst of all the plumbing.<br />Plan C: Chair rail molding and beadboard wallpaper like I did in my kitchen. it's actually quite beautiful. And do board and batten in another room?<br />{{HUG}}<br />~meLeslie {Goodbye, house.

It seems the most logical to me.

It's worse than caulk!! That puppy is not coming off the wall unless we break it! <br />I would try to just put the battens in around the sink if possible. Maybe the trim above the sink and the boards meeting up with it would work. Good luck! It's going to be beautiful no matter what you decide to do! :)Courtney ~ French Country Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513476834711422874noreply@blogger.com
