This was a remodel on my only bathroom that took far longer than I ever thought possible. Almost everything was done by me. I paid someone else to redo a couple parts that I was not so successful at (plastering.. harder than it appears).
In addition to redoing the casing for the window, I decided to put up some oak baseboard and wainscoting along the wall. This served to decorate the room, and also to cover up a very strange horizontal joint. The radiator cover provides a little extra storage.
The oak was stained with 2 coats of General Finishes Black Waterbased Stain, scuffed with 400, and then received 3 coats of High Performance applied with a foam brush.
I learned a lot doing this one. I think I fully appreciate why Gary Katz likes those collins clamps so much. Applying bolection molding one at a time around a not-so-flat wall is a bit of a pain.
Before anything was done.
