I took a few quick shots in between attaching pieces.
How to install crown molding on tile wall.
Position the board at the correct distance from the saw s fence to hold the crown at the proper angle.
3 pair the new crown with thin trim molding such as 3 4 inch.
For every cut measure the wall where the bottom of the crown molding will sit image 1.
They will form an even sturdy substrate for tight crown attachment.
Fastening crown molding directly to walls can be a headache but well fastened rail trim makes nailing the crown foolproof.
Using a piece of crown molding as a reference nail the board to the wall slightly above the bottom edge of the crown molding.
Install a tube of acrylic caulking in a caulking gun.
Then nail two blocks together to make a marking gauge that duplicates the run and drop.
Instructions cut a strip of wood thinner than your crown moulding and the same width as your sheets of tile.
Measure corner to corner.
Mark the wall measurement on the bottom of the crown molding image 2.
Measure the run and drop of the crown molding.
Caulk the seam between the lower edges of the baseboard and the floor.
Set the crown molding upside down against the saw fence and the 1x4 stop block.
Cut the tip of the tube with a utility knife to make a 1 8 inch opening.

I used a dewalt oscillating tool to cut crown molding and allow wall tile to fit behind rather than cut the tile around the molding.
The tile should be able to go slightly under the crown molding but the wood is still there to be nailed into.
