Kitchen window trim
The Houseworks double working window I installed in the kitchen came with pre-cut trim, so I painted and used those pieces as is. There were a few gaps, so I filled and painted just as I did for the baseboards. The flowers are by Michelle of Little Rabbit Miniatures.
I used brass window handles but I painted them Vintage White by Folk Art to match the windows. I usually use spray paint when I change the color of brass hardware, but old houses often have painted over hardware...done by hand. My old farmhouse was like that.
The casement window didn't have interior trim included, so I made my own using some crappy trim wood from the Heritage kit to get a more aged look to the trim. I wanted to have a small sill for plants and knickknacks. I started with the top piece, cutting the mitred corners with an Easy Cutter. I cut the sides to end at the bottom of the window opening.
I then marked a straight board held on its side to serve as the sill.
In order to cover the gap remaining on the bottom, I cut a rectangular piece identical to the sill piece though it will sit flat against the wall.
After painting, sanding, gluing, filling and touch-ups, the window trim is complete and the sill is the perfect place for the milk carton flower. :D
Hmm...I think I need some half-ripe tomatoes, too.
The little chick in the nest is another creation by C. Rohal, the same artist who made the peacock box I showed in an earlier post. Too stinkin' cute! And, tiny! :D
