Folks,

Long-term planning here. I'm looking at my dining room, which has a nice
new "antique pine" laminate flooring, needing trim, new windows in need of
trim (bare sheetrock, and just studs where one was taken out), etc, and
LOML
and I think that wainscoting (frame and raised panel style), chair rail
and
crown are the order of the day to fix it (after a complete re-sheetrock so
I
can insulate the walls, replace crappy wiring, blahblah).

I'm having one problem figuring this out, however. The windows are low --
28" off the floor. While height rules for chair rail and wainscoting are
flexible, and the room is short (7'8" or so), that's too low for me. Just
drawing on the wall confirms this. What I've not been able to find so far
is a good reference -- eg, decent pictures or drawings -- showing the
proper
continuation of window molding and wainscoting profiles where it goes
under
the window.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Not sure I understand. Are you asking what you should do to get a nice
abutment of the wainscoting with the window apron below the stool? I didn't
bother. I removed the apron and the trim (I hated it so I replaced it
completely with molding I custom made), ran the wainscot 1/4" below the
stool, and then replaced the trim and apron. Making the new molding wasn't
too hard but I had to leave a lip the width of the wainscot (it was actually
paneling above 30") so that when I put it back the panel edge was covered
and the molding edge made a nice joint with the window frame.
