Adding trim to interior windows

[Account Closed]

Has anyone added interior molding or trim work to existing vinyl windows? The windows are 15 years old and in fine shape. But they are typical of the cheap stucco houses built in developments in that 15 years here. There's no trim and the "sill" is the 3" plaster ledge set-back from the wall. The baseboard trim is that that dinky 2" stuff.

I'm looking for ways to add a few design/architectural elements to really basic uninteresting construction. The house has white six panel doors and I'll be adding be adding bigger baseboard trim (white). Any ideas how to improve the windows?

yea add window molding/ casements that match the baseboards you plan to install, which should match your door moldings. they will give a typicall block ranch stye home that nice architectural detail that the craftsmen style homes have on the inside.

You can go with more a colonial style molding. but the simpler craftsmen look works really well too. with the simple style you can go a bit chunkier on the size of your moldings.

I think this detail really makes a huge difference , painting all of your moldings white really allows the contrast with the wall color and makes the space stand out.
