DIY Guide: Step-by-Step Installation of Modern Window Trim - Thrift Diving

While my windows were trimmed with drywall to finish them off, they were bare and boring. Plus, I wanted a larger window ledge for displaying plants and other window decor. With some inexpensive $1.00/ft MDF primed trim, I was able to turn these windows from bare to amazing! See how it can be done in just one weekend or less on 6 windows! :)

I am a female in construction. My dad always want my sister and I to be independent! Our trick for trim with mitered corners is getting a small block and rabbit-ing the reveal of the casing. Less measuring and a consistent reveal. Works for everything including doors. Miters are tough but that tool makes it easier. Love your videos and your passion btw!!

This is the only video out of like 20 that was detailed, and not overly intimidating. I like that there was no scary table saw lol. I feel like I can actually do this with these tools.

It’s looking great! Your niece is beautiful! Tell her hope she’s on more videos.

[winnie]

You…are…amazing! And so talented! I rarely comment on people’s videos, but I had to tell you how extraordinary you are! Doing home projects like this are fulfilling, because not many people can. You’re saving a lot of money with your talents and know how!

We’ve been talking about trying to make a tiny house from a shed, and you’re my new hero!

[lauracattron]

My windows aren’t framed! I have an idea now!! Thank you for your advice! I just love your channel!

[greenthumbelina]

Serena, your workshop is looking awesome! I'm interested in seeing how you fix those leaks around the doors.
My husband passed away over 25 years ago, and just last fall I discovered a brand-new pneumatic brad nailer he had purchased. Unfortunately, he never got a chance to use it. It's time for me to do a little trial and error research, and figure out how to use that tool, along with a whole bunch of his other tools.

[GoodEnoughandStuff]

I get nervous when power tools are involved but you make it look so doable!

[sonicstoryteller]

Pro tip: Cut your boards at 45 degrees and you will keep the white edges as well as having a more aesthetically pleasing frame.

So little progress? Woman you pretty much built a studio apartment. Give yourself more credit. I've been trying to clean my basement since January lol

Also those Aviator safety glasses are cool. I'd wear those casually.
