Default What to do with wainscoting and low windows?


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!
