Evolution of a Window

A house doesn't really require trim, not the way a fridge or a toilet is required. But trim is definitely nice and it does finish a room quite well. Our house does not have any trim. Well, just a little bit in the upstairs bathroom (and it looks fantastic!) So P got to work to get me some trim around the front living room window.

Some admirers stopped to compliment and to offer suggestions. Still, P toiled on, oblivious to distractions.

The trim was pre-painted (thanks GT!) in the basement so that it just needed to be measured and cut and nailed in place.

I had mentioned a while ago that I'd like a sill at the bottom, and P remembered! He sanded a chuck of wood up and built a gorgeous sill. It's my job to paint it ... which I haven't done yet.

But meanwhile the window evolution keeps on rolling. S grabbed a screw gun to install the curtain rod. Under close supervision of course.

Once the curtain rod was installed, level and centred, we hung the new drapes! The colour is "mushroom" and surprisingly they look amazing with the colour of the wall.

Et VOILA! Some pictures hung above the blue wash stand and plants artfully arranged and we have a (mostly) finished living room window. I love it.
