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! --randy |
