Looking for a way to elevate your windows… both literally and figuratively? Add crown moulding! This room is FULL of windows, which I love. And I was itching to add some character to the walls when I realized that since there are so many windows in here, I should make them the focus! My windows are framed in 1x4 primed pine already. So I added a 1x3 primed pine board on top - cut to the same width as the 1x4 trim. Then I grabbed some crown moulding — I got this traditional moulding from Lowe’s. And I used my Kreg Crown Pro Jig set to 40° to cut it down. GET THE JIG AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, and I promise you’ll be able to do this! Also check out my “bath crown” highlight for a tutorial. I cut all the outside corners of my crown and hot wood glued them together before installing. This makes sure your seams stay tight. Then I nailed the crown caps to the top of my 1x3 boards. Next, I grabbed some 1” egg and dart trim to match the trim I have on our fireplace. And I cut that down to cover the seams where the 1x4 window trim and 1x3 caps meet! I cut 45° outside corners for these as well so they would wrap around the sides, and nailed them in. Wood filler for the outside corners and nail holes, caulk for the inside corners and where the trim meets the boards and walls. Then I painted mine Pure White by Sherwin Williams in satin for a slightly warmer, creamier contrast to our cooler Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore walls. And it’s just the look I was going for and SO DOABLE! Now… would you add window treatments or leave them open like this?? #windowdesign #windowtrim #crownmolding #trimwork #livingroomideas
