Does anyone have any tips on installing a decorative chair rail?

Im redoing a bedroom as a play room for our son, and want to install a decorative chair rail to help break up the room & paint colors. How do I go about measuring for the amount of wood Ill need and what about the corners? Do they sell corner pieces? Anyone know if Home Depot will custom cut the wood for me? I appreciate your advice...Im new at this & am determined to complete this project on myown without my husbands help (he doesnt think I can do it!)

Answers:
I can help you. First, you have to use a tape measure to get the complete length of the walls in the room. Write that down. When you go to Home Depot or Lowe's they can custom cut them for you. I don't know what you mean by corner pieces but you can have the ends cut to 45 degrees so that they match up. I need to know if the room is completely square or rectangular without any protruding walls. If you have protrusions, then the ends will need to be cut at 45 degrees opposite of the regular wall angle. It may sound confusing, but it is really simple. Please feel free to e-mail me with any technical help. I used to build and fix houses.

I don't even know what a chair rail is but if I did I' would help.
Why don't you just paint it some other color? or that won't work?
