At right, beadboard faces the front of a whirlpool soaking tub, creating not only a great look, but also a simple-to-remove access panel.Below, beadboard is installed on the ceiling of a front porch, and then on the walls of a sunporch.
At Newport Cove, award-winning homebuilder New American Homes has installed beadboard behind book shelves, at the back of glass-doored cabinets, around kitchen islands. The product is an inexpensive and charming trim that fits with a waterfront lifestyle. (Painted with a semi-gloss paint, it is easy to clean and maintain.)Newport Cove, a planned 42-acre community on the Chain O' Lakes, is zoned for 67 single-family homes. Its exacting architectural standards require coastal architecture, with signature white trim and cottage-style detailing.

I love the way you describe these details. Can't wait to come out and see the houses and Bluff Lake.
ReplyDeleteHow do you create the removable access panel with the beadboard around the tub? We would like to do this with our jacuzzi tub.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Build a lumber frame under the tub deck, trim it out with flat finished stock - be sure the flat stock is cut larger than the frame. Cut the bead board panels so that they fit inside the rough frame, attach the panels with clips - or even velcro - behind the flat finished stock. In other words, the bead board sits behind the flat trim stock much like a picture would sit inside a picture frame.
