Wainscoting meets wall tile, how to "finish"
I'm in the process of remodeling our main bathroom. There is tile on the walls a little over 4' up. The tile isn't too bad but i'm putting in a pedestal sink where the old vanity sink used to be so there is a big space of un-tiled wall so I decided to put wainscoting up over the tile except for in the tub area. What should I put up where the wall tile butts up against the wainscoting to give it a finished look. I just can't see leaving it bare especially since i'm putting the wainscoting over the existing tile so it will be a little bit thicker right there......

If you haven't done it yet, let's look at your problem and see if there may be a better alternative. In the area where there is missing tile, would it be possible to install a decorative, contrasting, or matching tile. You may have to remove some tile to make it symmetrical, but it would make for at smoother transition and you won't like the wainscotting, period.

I haven't put it up yet but i've already purchased and primed it so taking it back isn't an option. The tile isn't bad but isn't kind of dated and something I don't want to keep up either. I don't mind it in the shower until we can get something else. We are re-financing and have an upcoming appraisal so we needed a quick fix and this seems like the quickest fix we could think of that will stil look good.
