Dreaming Of Trim


Whenever we go looking at "new home" open
houses, you can find me in the kitchen or
laundry room...checking out the trim.

This kitchen and laundry/mud room
did not disappoint.

Middle daughter wants to build a bench
in a closet in her laundry room. I think
this one would work perfectly, except I
would do the hooks differently.


The cabinet below is "trimmed in" real
simply and would hide shoes.

I have been trying to figure out how to 
trim our large back window, which is near the
double french doors leading to the back patio.

If you notice here, the window and door trim
do not match, yet they look good together.


The doorway has a pretty easy-to-duplicate
design. Simply a matter of combining a
few boards and trim...





The picture below is a close up of the window
trim. Just boards and moulding...doesn't it
make you think you could do it yourself?



Thought I'd give you a look at the dining room
of this house before I go.

The dark floors with the white trim
really make this house a winner.

Thanks for dropping by!

  1. If the bench seat was off the floor to tuck shoes under, especially when muddy or wet I would like that. A rug under it could soak up the wet and not inside a drawer. I love trim and dental moulding and by golly hubby and I made so much of that in our shop. I have a feeling I will be dreaming trim tonight lol!

  3. I love the trim too, and the bench. However, I too thought I could do it myself, it's just that not too many doors and doorways are perfectly straight, I cut perfect corners only to discover this. filled in the gaps with wood filler, and now off to paint them in, I used a flat paint and I'm not too thrilled with it, but I'm also out of steam, so the semi gloss will have to come after I catch my breath. How does Wild Bill fell about all this work.
