Beadboard is not only beautiful but it adds perceived value to the room. In this tutorial we are adding beadboard in a bathroom. I recommend going with the 7" tongue and groove in a bathroom. The reason for the 7" is there are various accessories in a bathroom that you will need to cut around, ie. paper holder, towel bars, counter-top, cabinets, toilet plumbing etc... It is extremely difficult with a 4'x8' sheet of beadboard to cut around all the accessories. In this particular bathroom, I went with the 7" T&G with chair rail and base board all in one kit. The beadboard kit comes pre-primed and the trim is pre-routed.
Before you get started you will want to prep the bathroom. Protect the floor, counter top and tub with paper, plastic or drop cloths as this will get a little messy. Remove all bathroom accessories that you can. In our case we removed the old ceramic paper holder and towel bars. We decided to go with new chrome accessories. Depending on the height you want to install the beadboard you may also want to remove the mirrors, electrical plates and medicine cabinet. We also removed the toilet tank for an easier install around the plumbing pipes. Remove the baseboard and shoe molding if applicable. We installed new trim so we removed the door casing as well but you don't have to if you want to re-use it.

I always like to start on the left side of the entrance door to the bathroom and I always end on the right side of the door this way your beadboard flows nicely around the entire room.
Measure and cut your base board first. Install the base board with 2" trim nails. Try to nail about 1/2" up from the bottom so that you are nailing into the bottom plate of the framed wall.
After you have installed the base board, cut your 7" T&G beadboard to your desired height. Apply a generous amount of adhesive to the back and install it toung side out on the wall. Also, make sure the bottom is in the base board slot. Press it on firmly to make sure it adheres well to the wall. Nail the beadboard as recommended by the manufacturer. Cut you next piece, apply adhesive, place it on the wall and slide the groove over the toung. Repeat this process around the entire room until you end at the other side of the entrance door. After the beadboard is up, it is time to install the chair rail. Install the chair rail the same as you did the base but with the routed side down, slotted over the beadboard. After you have installed the chair rail, caulk all of your seams and joints. For a finer finish, fill the nail holes with painters putty. After your caulk and painters putty has dried, you will want to lightly sand your beadboard and trim.
I find it easier to paint the shoe mold before installing it this way you can paint your beadboard and base board on the wall. Paint as far down on the base as you can without getting it on the floor and then cut, install and caulk your shoe mold. Some people like to paint the trim before cutting and installing it, again this is personal preference. Paint touch up as necessary. Now stand back and enjoy your new beadboard! Don't forget to clean up your mess.
