wood beading as tile edge trim?

[veryfluffy]

I am about to tile the kitchen, halfway up the wall, and just looking at how to finish the edges. First time I have encountered these edging strips, and I don't like them. The tiles are the same colour as the wall paint (antique white), it's a very olde worlde cottage kitchen, and I just can't picture a metal strips running along the middle of the wall.

What I am considering doing is using 10mm wide timber beading, either flat and rounded or quadrant, painting it to match and sticking it along the top edge. Please let me know if there is anything drastically wrong with this idea!
