Kitchen Chronicles: Trimming out the Windows

Hope you all enjoyed the holidays (or still are) with your favorite people!<br /><br />My little sister is in town (the one who moved into our Florida guest room this past July) so our family is cherishing every moment together before she heads back to the east coast on Sunday...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwGpcN2r1TMXIDnZ91ntWdybv94ZcP6C0LN1Ue7HO6hKX3dLpLxKz5o6SwECvBzbTKy7jnQ3_-BTMaxprWRf3RBayi0DrUwF_KOZbhKhv9A_xEcdTyP93IoPGWJIkkH7lIpcvrMp9SVK2/s1600/_MG_9947.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqwGpcN2r1TMXIDnZ91ntWdybv94ZcP6C0LN1Ue7HO6hKX3dLpLxKz5o6SwECvBzbTKy7jnQ3_-BTMaxprWRf3RBayi0DrUwF_KOZbhKhv9A_xEcdTyP93IoPGWJIkkH7lIpcvrMp9SVK2/s1600/_MG_9947.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Amidst all the holiday hustle, my dad and I found some time to address an important issue—our plain jane trimless windows. I'll get to all of them eventually, but for now I wanted to focus on the rooms on my priority list—the kitchen and my studio:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQssvvTL28QDTnOX1-8iR3C7RdhHntKPctzS14njhakfka2Hl09QYM6Gyo1M2fPD_1zVzppN8hUARxwyvkzvuTeDn4Atdb_RVBakncQfjjVU4Svd7jbKk5CjK1oq4geeFLxSITEQ5L5kh4/s1600/Untitled-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQssvvTL28QDTnOX1-8iR3C7RdhHntKPctzS14njhakfka2Hl09QYM6Gyo1M2fPD_1zVzppN8hUARxwyvkzvuTeDn4Atdb_RVBakncQfjjVU4Svd7jbKk5CjK1oq4geeFLxSITEQ5L5kh4/s1600/Untitled-3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />This was high on my list because it makes such a huge impact for relatively low effort and cost. And now's the time to do it before the wood planks and backsplash go in.<br /><br />If you can remember back in March, I tried this for the first time with our <a href="http://jennasuedesign.blogspot.com/2013/03/new-master-paint-trim-plank-wall.html">new master bedroom redo,</a> and absolutely loved the results:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicTAHwWkPCwLCGS68VBQRiE-52WhGZF520dipxmHOuT3nmXmxzg8IO8ty5B7vZT7yKsCzNDaZSb7mTNpjcCZPVcj7L5RG0hZXZS7p-WXNVUjdsCBjfU5vLrAOSLzTKyjAHFL-b-Axk9Li2/s1600/IMG_0175.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicTAHwWkPCwLCGS68VBQRiE-52WhGZF520dipxmHOuT3nmXmxzg8IO8ty5B7vZT7yKsCzNDaZSb7mTNpjcCZPVcj7L5RG0hZXZS7p-WXNVUjdsCBjfU5vLrAOSLzTKyjAHFL-b-Axk9Li2/s1600/IMG_0175.jpg" /></a></div><br />I kept the existing stool and apron (the two bottom pieces) and just added two vertical pieces and one horizontal to the top. Since it was ridiculously easy, I thought I'd step it up this time and make my own stool and apron and knock out four windows in one day.<br /><br />I enlisted my dad's help (he's a former furniture maker) and we agreed it would be a fun daddy-daughter project (the first of many, yay for being back home!).<br /><br />The hardest part about this process was planning. All four windows were different dimensions and had different needs. We spent almost two hours at Lowe's trying to figure out exactly what to get and ensuring we wouldn't have to make a second trip.<br /><br />For the design, I decided to keep it clean and simple. Straight cuts, no miters, no crown or fancy bevels. All of the door and window trim on the outside of our house is the same basis Craftsman style I used in our old bedroom:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDjmCgcd5mhGU5OYXQpfu8XNN482gvozlmMXlBwVnZMN3KAmk0RYRFxIQpJDKwnPi_wr91YCoFSmcLxARzawhZFf7k_oumYQ5Mt2MJwFMDN44CyggNl3vR2gQTDFLEpKaz4kXWn6MGetq/s1600/IMG_3285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZDjmCgcd5mhGU5OYXQpfu8XNN482gvozlmMXlBwVnZMN3KAmk0RYRFxIQpJDKwnPi_wr91YCoFSmcLxARzawhZFf7k_oumYQ5Mt2MJwFMDN44CyggNl3vR2gQTDFLEpKaz4kXWn6MGetq/s1600/IMG_3285.JPG" /></a></div><br />So I thought consistency would be nice to tie everything together.<br /><br />I chose cost-effective whitewood boards in various lengths and widths for each window, in 3/4" thickness. The total came to somewhere in the ballpark of $120 just for the wood—a bargain for the impact.<br /><br />After gathering our wood, we got to work.<br /><br />Step 1: removing the old window sills. Only two windows had them.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPQ13WfHvLhfEOmswOKWSmNFWFg5Osef0OeHNwwLkkpKk_rzUmn2g94ssIELv4DIDLKuTLfsxatWMtAxgeqjYSQGtAxug4jq5botvcoWTuJTcKhBUwH1P4KSonmZ1k9nJj0cvHUgFeQXl/s1600/IMG_3213.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPQ13WfHvLhfEOmswOKWSmNFWFg5Osef0OeHNwwLkkpKk_rzUmn2g94ssIELv4DIDLKuTLfsxatWMtAxgeqjYSQGtAxug4jq5botvcoWTuJTcKhBUwH1P4KSonmZ1k9nJj0cvHUgFeQXl/s1600/IMG_3213.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIiY-r4gbvU4c1VpbXv4HEBuaVhUKWfBgC4wXf_t5fTTxQ9ibmxEeq05OEFNAestajJZO-vKi40-64kV5ZhWMWbfcUeiRwfmEZ-xW55_XZVSo6qPPpvM6-PN4uNN20lLdTj7xo6FjzYxp/s1600/IMG_3214.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsIiY-r4gbvU4c1VpbXv4HEBuaVhUKWfBgC4wXf_t5fTTxQ9ibmxEeq05OEFNAestajJZO-vKi40-64kV5ZhWMWbfcUeiRwfmEZ-xW55_XZVSo6qPPpvM6-PN4uNN20lLdTj7xo6FjzYxp/s1600/IMG_3214.JPG" /></a></div><br /><br />Next it was time to measure for our new sills.

In Memoriam

<p align="center"><font size="5"></font> </p> <p align="center"><font size="5">I know everyone is busy with Christmas and family, but this slipped by me somehow and I just couldn’t not pay a proper respect to Mr. Charles Faudree.  The famed interior designer from Tulsa, Oklahoma passed away from a long bout with cancer this past November 28.  He was just 75 years old.   </font></p> <p align="center"><font size="5"></font> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-4O8QD7haH7Q/UrwnE6gRDbI/AAAAAAACF9w/2y5FjfioLzA/s1600-h/image12.png"><font size="5"><img alt="image" border="0" height="1204" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-DFnZLrhATwk/UrwnLhdZrXI/AAAAAAACF94/6WJrSt_kOGE/image_thumb6.png?imgmax=800" style="border-left-width: 0px;
