Help with trim for boxed recessed kitchen window
We need help deciding how to trim out a boxed kitchen window. The window box out is about 10" deep and there's a triple casement window 7' wide by 44" high that will be behind the sink. Trying to figure out how to trim the window relative to the cabinets and crown molding. We are leaning towards having a 3/4" stool on the bottom that will flange up to the backsplash - i.e. no bottom window trim. Maybe 4" height from counter to bottom of stool? Not sure how we should trim out the casement. Kitchen designer and architect provided no details. Please post photos. Thx.

PRO10 years agoMy personal kitchen is not a boxed window, but it is large like yours. I designed this and my carpenter built it for me. It might not go with your house, though. My house was built in 1925.

- 10 years agoHere's my bay window...and yes, someone should have told me to reverse the handles on the side crank windows to bring them closer and therefore easier to reach. But the corian also runs out into the bay. Pella windows with the shades inside the glass.

Why didn't I put crown above the window? I did consider it. But thought it would be too much molding. I wanted the window to shine. Plus was going for a vintage look to match my 1920s home. Most kitchens didn't have crown at the ceiling. Like these:

I have a bay window that is counter-height (it's 18" deep x 6'10" wide). I think counter-height is the best way to go. Here's an old picture of mine (from right after our remodel & before any "decorating"). I've also included a link to a thread with pictures of counter-height windows so you can see what others have done.
