So to trim my windows, first I measure for the bottom sill piece (Photo 1) At this point the pieces are all pine, 3/4” thick (unless noted as otherwise), not sanded and not stained. Note the wings that come out each side, actually called horns, that will allow the side casings to sit on.
Next are the inner sides, or jambs. (Photo 2) I had to plane these to 1/2” thick or they would be covering the window frames.
Following this is the inner top, head jamb. (Photo 3) Also planed to 1/2” thick.
So far we are at 4 pieces.

Last week I finished the cupboards under the kitchen sink. One side is for garbage and the other for compost. They had to be shallow due to the piping underneath. Originally the sink was to the right and not centered under the window. I need things centered, so thanks to my husband’s plumbing expertise, it’s now centered. This left a larger space width wise for the sink cabinet, but no worries, since I made them all, I could make them wider than standard!

I’m STILL working on my kitchen. I collect blue and white china and in this small house there is not really anywhere to display it. So… I built 9 small cabinets above the kitchen cabinets and ran a rope light across. I’ve just finished the doors, added hinges and pulls (so much work!) and put some of my china in there. Still need to put some type of molding at the ceiling, frame the window and today working on pull-out garbage and compost bins under the sink.
