Need to know what the backsplash is to be sure, but I like the window without any trim if you use granite or tile for the sill and make it all flush with the backsplash.

If the door trim is simple, it should all work well with your cabinets.

I agree with Steff. And if the sill needs to project beyond the backsplash to get everything evened out, that would be fine too.

Steff - thanks for your response. the backsplash is white crackle tile, and I was thinking of putting a piece of material in front of the sill that is the same as my countertop--white Zodiaq quartz.

no molding/casement would certainly save me some trouble.

First, do the other windows in your house have molding/trim around them? If not, then I would not put trim around the window. As to a sill, regardless, you might want something to protect the surface (maybe the same material as your countertop). If there's no trim, then maybe make the sill just the depth of the window sill, i.e., no overhang. If there is trim, them you may want to make a traditional sill.

The advantage of a sill that's no deeper than the window alcove is that it will not get in the way of your fixtures behind the sink...faucet, soap dispenser, etc. (if your sink is in front of the window, that is).

Our house has no trim around the windows, so our kitchen window has none either...and I think it looks fine without it. I actually think it looks more open w/o the trim (not that it needs to look more open!)

One thing about our window, though, is that it goes down to the counter so a sill, per-se, wasn't an issue for us.

Our message center is a niche in the pantry wall and we put in an oak sill to protect the surface that's the same depth of the niche--which is what I meant above.

wow - thanks everyone for your input. Yes, there is trim EVERYWHERE else, this is an old house with some original molding that goes as tall as 12". However, the door and window on the other wall (you can partially see the glass door) have 4 1/2" wood trim surrounding them. I definitely cannot do 4 1/2" trim on this window - not enough room. So, maybe it is best to leave it alone and do a simple sill.

I vote for trim on the window. Keep it just a sill if
that is all you have room for or even just a 2 inch trim.
I love the traditonal look with grates but a simple
trim if the rest of your house has trim might be perfect.

Do orbs show up in any of your other pictures of other rooms in your house? If you aren't familiar with orbs, do a google. Interesting to read a page or two about them.
