Chair Rail Shelf

I added the chair rail shelf to one side of the bathroom. This was my idea to transition from the tongue and groove planks to the uneven plaster/drywall combo on the top half of the walls. It worked pretty well. I had to cut the back of each horizontal shelf to match the bulges in the wall but I can't imagine any better way of making this transition and hiding the wall imperfections.

I think the shelf will look nice when it's painted to match the trim and the tongue and groove planks are painted. We'll see...
