Here is a Better Photo of The Tops ..first pic gave distorted view. and I see no crown moulding here. you can see the window is almost to the whatever moulding will be there.

I can understand why you did it and why it sort of jumps out at you. Two things: one, you will get used to it. Two, you can try to visually even it out with some sort of wall art. Look what they did in this picture. The doors are also lower than the window yet the artwork sort of balances it out:

What kind of trim is going around the new window? Do you have a drawing of what you discussed with the contractor?

They don't need to line up. The lining up of the tops of doors and windows is an artificial rule from the late 20th -21st century. Windows were almost always higher than the tops of doors.

Jojo, love that! It’s in a rental, so I won’t be seeing it. Thanks for that, pal, and i’m thinking you are correct..as you usually are about these kind of details. Nothing so fancy as drawings, Dee. Our guy scribbles on the wall and we show him pictures. It usually works fine. It’s been fun watching the progress on this small-ish 60’s ranch.

Maybe take off the piece of crown and do 1x12 above the french doors with the crown on top of that and a piece if moulding under the 1x12. It would at least even the french doors up with the windows.

I’d ignore it. (a) because of what pal said and (b) you won’t lose renters because they don’t match up.

Since it’s a rental, I’d leave it. If it was your home, I’d say that seeing the eaves from the roof fill the upper 10% of the window makes it look unintentional.

I would want it lowered so that the eaves don't show (ETA: as much), even if it is a rental.

@morz8 - Washington Coast i think the difference is you can see the eaves from every window making it an intentional design choice. Just my opinion.

The opened eaves don't bother me as a design feature. Our current home has them. Instead I should have said I think the window is too high. Without seeing other rooms/windows, I thought this was the only window like this in the house.

The window is in, no changing that, and height was made to allow wall space beneath for a buffet, etc. I will post a pic in a few weeks once its all done. Thanks everone for your thoughts.

@martinca_gw sunset zone 24 I don't think you have an issue. Windows in my house are taller than the doors (front, back and French doors to the porch) and not by the same measurement because some windows have transoms and some don't. I love the look of your eves, personally and find the open rafters charming. Downside is just more places for cobwebs but there are always compromises!

@morz8 - Washington Coast your house walk around sounds perfectly lovely!
