Here is the nook area adjacent to the family room. I've decided on getting trim to these windows as they look bare when the shades are pulled down. We're going to change the shades to woven ones.

I personally think if u are going to add curtains, then u can go without the trim.

Homebody - No window treatments in the family room. At least as of now. We might get woven shades later. We are just going to add shades to the other rooms now.

Diana Bier Interiors - We are going to use trim that is similar to the one we already have in the dining room. I'm going to be working with a good finish carpenter and budget is not an issue.

I do not want the windows to be covered. I want them to be highlighted more :) Privacy is not an issue and we like the views.

Any more input? Thanks!

I am planning to do a similar thing. I'm surprised by the elaborate trim in some areas and none in others of your home. I don't have any window trim and the house just seems unfinished. I do know that my trim carpenter (friend, thank goodness) is going to have to take out the apron and sill and add new, bigger in order to balance the casing and surround. I hope your guy figured on that as well. Good luck.

Yes, Lexi, your views are just beautiful--I understand your not wanting to cover them! So installing trim that is consistent throughout the house would be a very good idea.

Yes get the trim that matches the trim you have and you'll be happy. Personally I like it the way it is.

Hi Lexi..just saw this post..did you do the trim around the windows? I hope so:)
