Why on Earth?...

Why on earth would a reputable builder make such a blunder? Look at the placement of this window. The molding at the top of the window is literally touching the crown molding. UGH! This is a dilemma I have had to contend with on one of my projects. The client did not want to reposition the window, which is understandable given the cost and all they want to do in their home.

We were discussing it yesterday. One would typically center the foyer chandelier in the window, which is exactly what they did. Their current chandelier is so high though it just looks wrong. My association to it is looking up and woman's dress ~ a distasteful position. They thought that was a funny and an accurate description of looking at the chandelier. I will show you I am doing to take the focus away from this builder's blunder next week. But first I am interested in your thoughts and ideas on how you would 'correct' this situation.
