The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 03, 2013Okay tossing around a couple ideas~ one is put the chair rail all the way around at 42" even at the bar and paint the bottom half a rich color to blend in the beautiful countertop. There is also an idea, not sure if it will work but make a chair rail 6" wide all the way around to it sits on top of the counter like a backsplash. and still paint the bottom a different color or the top so the room comes alive. To make the chair rail that wide start out with a 1x8 and have a lowes or home depot cut the board to be the 6" width. then layer trim on top of that. I think it will look good but everyone has different tastes. I would even think about staining it to match the cabinets too. You do have white trim but that is okay. Designing is personal and there really are no rules. If I come up with any more ideas I will post again.Helpful Reply

Tamara S on Sep 03, 2013Thanks, I toured Home Depot's trim isle this week and they had plenty of options, then I remembered that I was making tile for the back splash, so why couldn't I use it as the "Chair Rail". That way when I got to the back splash it would just continue across the room. What do you think?Helpful Reply

Tamara S on Sep 03, 2013The back splash tiles are 2" x 4" we were experimenting with texture and colors. Lights, darks. . . decided to use them all! Do you think it would be over-powering to use them as the Chair-rail??Helpful Reply

Tamara S on Aug 10, 2016Yes, I ended up just butting the Chair Rail up to the Back Splash. It seemed the simplest solution and I really wanted the hand made tiles to be the center piece in the room anyway. Thanks for asking, THelpful Reply
