Thanks JJT, I'll show that to Mr. B!
I think wainscotting would be pretty in there too.
I don't have an emotional investment in the current chair rail and if we end up replacing it, so be it. We do try to reuse/recycle all the elements of the house, especially some of the beautiful millwork, but in some cases it just isn't remotely practical or financially feasable.
I would love to know carpentry. What an amazing combination of art and skill. There is a shop near my house called The Joinery where they make furniture. They have an overlook into the shop where you can watch the carpenters at work. So cool. I fall over with skill envy every time I go there.
