Window Trim

14 years ago

Hi,

The windows in my home have only a sill. I would like to trim around them for a more finished look, but I have fabric shades and there is no room to put wood inside. The only thing I can do this is to put the trim around the outside and have sheetrock as the reveal. Has anyone ever done this? I don't want to waste my time and money if it will look stupid. Thanks

You could trim off 1/8" - 1/4" of sheetrock, install a thin strip of wood, then the trim.
