Subwaytile, Originally I had ordered Carrara marble chair rails for the hall bath but for whatever reason (miscommunication or oversight by tile designer at store) they were never received. Because we were about to put our house on the market we decided to go for the more inexpensive alternative. I still like the bathroom as it is. The chair rail would have made it a bit more dressed up. The only other regret I have is not putting in a vanity. Again, since we were about to sell we decided to forgo the vanity and put a pedestal sink in. Although I love the clean streamlined look of the pedestal sink, I think we could use the extra storage. We never did move. Right now, we also in the process of repainting it. [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2jxsap.jpg[/IMG] Here is a link that might be useful:

ah, yes, I was kinda thinking such. I am on my own with this project as DH says "do what ever you like, it's all yours, baby"... which can be a bit of a curse. Would you go with just the solid surface backsplash (to match the vanity top) or do the tile accent? I can't believe the blessing that this forum has been. The kitchen forum saved me 5 years ago and the bath forum is doing it now. I have been reading/lurking here for @ 3 years now. My DH says I have a "thirst for knowledge" LOL thanks so much to everyone! Diane

Hold the frame up in place and mark where it's going to sit, and then notch the chair rail and pencil liner with a grinder. That frame MUST sit flush.

it's simple. The end piece of chair rail would get mitered as if you were going around an outside corner. Then a "plug" would be made from a scrap of mitered chair rail, and the finish product as shown the the pic below:
