Adding recessed lighting and shiplap ceiling to small bathroom: help
Comments (0)We are planning a small makeover for the only bathroom in our small house. We plan to do the following: remove the flushmount ceiling fixture and patch ceiling add an exhaust fan with light over the shower add two recessed lights: one over the toilet area and one between the doorway and the vanity (evenly flanking the vanity) replace the vanity light with a more appropriate sconce remove the wallpaper; paint walls shiplap and paint the ceiling I'd like GW help on the following: What size recessed lights are appropriate for this small bathroom (barely 6x9)? Two 4" or two 6"? I like LEDs. What brand do you recommend? Can we install this in phases, beginning with the recessed lighting and exhaust fan and add the shiplap at a later date? That is, can the fixtures be adjusted lower to accommodate the wood planking when we get to that phase? If the new recessed lighting offers downlight, should we plan on installing an upward facing sconce above the vanity or can we do a downward facing sconce (perhaps with clear or translucent glass shades)? Other notes: We will replace the hideous wall cabinet with open shelves. We are aware that the tile on the floor is wall tile and not floor tile (slippery when wet!), but until we build a second bathroom, we cannot replace it. Thanks!...See MoreShadow gap Shiplap ceiling.
Comments (9)I made the mistake of letting a family member do the job. Tiling and shiplap walls and ceiling. He only got as far as tiling in shower tub combo. Took him 2 weeks just for that and not even finished. Horrible job so he's no longer completing the job and that's another issue I'll be dealing with on tile. I already had the shiplap cut 8 ft then found out issue with the paralleling. Needless to say I want to pull my hair out....See Morewhat size shiplap for ceiling
Comments (30)Where did you buy the light fixture from? Also if I have 8" shiplap on the walls would you recommend doing 8" on ceiling as well or going smaller 4"???...See More2 Questions. Re: tray ceiling and shiplap
Comments (10)why don't you do the shiplap yourself? it's not difficult at all. plenty of how-to's online. as for what a price would be, there is no way we can answer this. prices vary from region to region. ditto for wallpaper. we don't know how it's attached. some come off very easily, others do not. And that is really a DIY that you should do since it's time consuming and you pay people for their time. spend a weekend peeling off the paper, or looking at how to cut the shiplap. (and you can use regular pine tongue and groove as opposed to shiplap. (make sure to prime it first w/oil base primer or shellac) call in someone else for the ceiling. I wouldn't bother w/the tray since it's so narrow. do the entire thing or just forget it. How were you going to raise that ceiling? wouldn't you be raising the entire ceiling on that floor?...See MoreMark B
