First delete the other post. This one if far more descriptive.

No. Chair rail and window casing are two completely different moldings. If you attempt to use the chair rail as the bottom piece of casing you will probably have trouble making them meet properly. Secondly, your windows may or may not be at exactly the same height. Thirdly, while both are decorative, they are two distinctively different things. Therefore, they will not be very pleasing to the eye.
