The article urges adding wood touches to bathrooms with porcelain fixtures to counter coldness. It suggests a ceiling of translucent panels in a wooden frame as an easy, affordable upgrade, using narrow hem slats for warmth and value.

The article advises selecting lumber by strength grades 1 through 4, with smaller numbers denoting better strength. It warns against paying extra for appearance wood in structural work and suggests horizontal paneling to alter room dimensions, with vertical paneling to gain height. It cites hemlock and red cedar for interior paneling and recommends corrosion resistant nails for exterior wood in moisture, noting stainless steel, aluminum, or hot dipped galvanized nails preserve hold and aesthetics.
