portion? It is a country kitchen with a chair rail in the dining portion. The rail has a maple stain to match the other wood work & cabinets in the kitchen and there's wallpaper below the chair rail with paint above. I definitely want to get rid of the wallpaper and paint it all. Should I paint same color above & below chair rail? Paint the chair rail or leave it with the wood stain? I'm thinking of painting the kitchen a yellow or gold all over or maybe white below chair rail and yellow or gold above it. I also have a shelf running the length of 2 walls about a foot from the ceiling. Right now it is painted white.
