Faux chair rail?

I finally broke down and chose the paint colors for my dining room. I’ve been wanting to make some changes for quite some time but it’s been hard to decide exactly what I wanted to do because of the restrictions of living in an apartment. I originally wanted to install chair rail in my dining room, but after giving it some thought I decided that it would not be cost effective and it would also be a hassle to remove when I decided to move.

I decided to go with a faux chair rail. By that, I mean I’m going to do the walls in a two-tone, with the bottom half being a slightly darker shade than the top and just use painters tape to paint a white horizontal stripe around the room to make it have the appearance of a chair rail. I’ve looked at numerous tutorials on the web and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be too difficult. The only issue I think I’m going to have is trying to get the painter’s tape perfectly straight.
