Light and Line

As I explained in Treehouse 2, I had originally wanted a wider chair rail to avoid a gap between the back of the sofa and the rail.  But, I got talked into one the exact depth of the counter and window sill.  I'm glad I listened to them because the junction and line is so subtle, yet makes a strong design statement.

The bigger picture.

The entire wall in this room has only one small window, facing north.  Yet, the use of light-colored and reflective surfaces along the entire wall gives the illusion of a much more luminous space.
