Need pics of trim--door/window combo...
Comments (5)gregincal, thank you for the picture. I'm looking for ideas--worst case scenario, I trim the window and door individually, with 2" wide trim, and leave a 3" strip of painted wall between. The door and window, on the mudroom side, are trimmed that way (the trim was already attached to the exterior door frame), and it looks OK. I can replace the picture-frame molding around the window, adding a filler piece at the top. Or, I can leave the trim as is--the top of the window trim lines up with where the top piece of door trim will start. Although none of the other windows or doors in the house have 'beading', I could add a bull-nosed bead (as in your example), then molding above that, spanning the window and door, as you suggest. catbuilder, thanks for the advice. Sorry about the poor quality, back-lit picture--sun was streaming in the mudroom windows this AM. I'm going to try to come up with a solution that doesn't involve moving the window up. The trim isn't consistent from room-to-room, so this can be unique. lavender, do you mean a wood valance (as was common over sinks in 50's kitchens), or a fabric valance? We've never had a window treatment there--it faces the back yard and barn, southern exposure, and I like all the light coming in. I may use a filler piece on top, which I think is what you're suggesting, then put trim along the bottom, as in eastfallsglass' pic, to balance it. Thank you. Any one else with pictures? Thanks!...See MoreMixing baseboard trim and door casing sizes
Comments (2)When I moved into my current place, I had the same problem set. I actually did choose to replace all of my base molding throughout (yes, even in the closets), but kept all my original door casing. I have a variety of ceiling heights throughout the space and, while a crown treatment wasn't an option given my rooflines, I wanted to make sure that my base treatment created harmony throughout all the spaces and flowed without distraction. It gives the same level of finish and polish everywhere, which is a uniformity I wanted. I just made sure that it would coordinate well with my existing door casing (and my windows also have just an under-sill treatment like yours - no casing around the sides or across the top). It was one of the first projects I did, and I've really loved how it turned out. I did the 5.25" flat-sided ogee-top profile and it's worked out great as my style has filled in other parts of the plan around it....See MoreNeed help with roof color, siding and trim color and window trim updat
Comments (5)The window trim change would be to Craftsman style. Unless you are doing the work yourself it seems a lot of expense for little difference on upstairs windows. It would, however, be extremely easy to do on your front door as you would only need to change the top board. And you could replace the side lights with solid wood inserts, or you could use textured glass that would obscure the view while still letting light in. While the limestone exterior is very light it has a yellow hue. Simply speaking the easiest way to find colors that work with the warm limestone is to choose a nearby color. That was probably why the trim is green. Since you prefer a modern look, I suggest you keep your siding light and use color only in the trim. Below are two combinations that I like. I darkened the roof color in these pictures....See MoreHelp me choose paint color(s) for doors and window trim?
