Been looking at the pictures here on beadboard in bathrooms. Been thinking about unpainted natural beadboard with coat of clear or poly. maybe a light natural honey color like hickory. What yall think, too much wood in a small bathroom 6×8. Where do you buy beadboard. with a nice pedestal sink. Too much?

A friend of mine did a bath remodel a couple of years ago with a fir beadboard wainscot. The homeowners applied a medium to dark stain and clearcoat finish. I was a bit concerned about how it would look, but it turned out fantastic.
I know you're contemplating a lighter finish, but if you like the lighter tones in general, I have to assume you'd be happy with the result.
