Bungalow Trims

In the style of the Craftsman Bungalow, historically the home would almost become a showcase for trims....trims around fireplaces, door openings, windows, built-in cabinetry...the more plentiful and elaborate the trim details, the more it showed off the "craftsman"-ship!

Though in the strictest definition of the term Bungalow, this home we've been following may not precisely meet the terms, but typical craftsman details were evident in the original home design, and are certainly appropriate to the new design.

We saw the windows installed in an earlier posting on the project, but now the interior trims have been added. It makes an amazing and immediate transformation to the feel of the space, as you can see in these pictures.

These trims frame an already beautiful window, and once the walls and trims are painted, they'll stand out even more.

Truly fine trim-work is an art form all unto itself,and one that when properly executed--as this careful contractor is seeing to--can truly make an interior. I'm anxious to see more of the same!
