Really nice tut!! My house was built with only basic trim around all doors probably came with the door casing and only sill trim on the windows. Looks so very boring and silly in my mind. But since it is all white I know I can paint the trim ahead and then help my husband through with the install. This looks amazing! We too have considered beefing up our moldings but we have a sill that sticks out on either side of the windows.
Any suggestions? I would really appreciate your input! Love your blog and all your projects! Hi there! Do you recommend removing this layer first, or literally building around them as you suggest in this tutorial? I appreciate any suggestions. My windows have molding only at the bottom of the windows.
Would your idea for the crown molding at the top of the windows look good without any molding down the sides of the window? Have you figured out a way to trick out clamshell molding?

The knots bled through three coats of oil-based paint.
If I knew then what I know now, I would triple coat the knots with white shellac first, then prime with white B-I-N, then paint, then pray. My spotty trim is annoying but not as bad as what my sister has. She lives in a grand old house with plaster walls. At some point, someone tried to repair things by putting canvas with a coating on the walls and painting. It was beautiful—for about two months.
Then the red poppies began to bleed through and look like lipstick kisses all over the walls! This is in a guest bedroom with furniture and artwork covering most of the walls, so she decided to live with it. Regarding the rags, let them dry out outside, if possible and then dispose of them. You will feel better knowing you have done the safest thing, rather than trying to hold onto and re-use them.
I use it on every wood project cabinets, furniture, trim, etc. But with any other brand, just be sure to read the label to double-check before proceeding. But I know for sure the Cover Stain can be coated with water-based paint. A little bit of my souls dies when I see windows trimmed out like a picture frame with no sill.
These are glorious! Can you explain more about that? I always have a tiny bit of a gap, but generally not that much. Had I been cutting it during the day with plenty of light, I would have done a better job. I love your style and the straight cuts for it as well. I have a question about caulk.
At a previous home, I caulked where my vinyl windows met the drywall. When I painted over the caulk, the paint would not adhere, the paint would bead up. What are the steps you take, and probably the product you use to be able to paint over the caulk.
Just another reader here, but I learned this the hard way too! When you buy caulk, it will say right on the tube whether it is paintable or not. Always make sure it says paintable! It sounds like you used a silicone caulk. There are a couple of specialized silicone caulks and hybrids that can be painted with latex paint, but you have to read the labels to find those. I get it at Home Depot and buy it by the case. You can cut and shape your own MDF trim with a table saw and a rotary tool with a routing accessory, but the high glue content of the material can be hard on your blades.
Carbide-tipped blades will dull less quickly and minimize tear-out and chipping. Its high glue content also makes MDF difficult to sand, so saw cuts and router passes should be as clean as possible. Working MDF with power tools produces more dust than working wood, so wear a dust mask and keep the work area clean by vacuuming frequently, recommends Family Handyman.
Many builders use a nail gun to attach MDF trim. Not only is it faster than hand-nailing, there is less likelihood of chipping or splitting the material. Unlike wood or plywood, which crack along a shear line, MDF basically pulverizes under stress, and repairs are difficult.
