Need window casement ideas
I'm redoing our office and I would like to add some casing around the window. Does anybody have a link to some pictures so I can get some ideas? I'm thinking of maybe putting some rosettes in the top corners and a wider ledge so that cats can sit there. But I'm not very creative so I need some pictures in order to steal ideas. Do you have pictures of your own beautiful windows to share? I've never done this before, so any tips are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You might find the following link helpful with installation: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/installwindowtrim
Keep in mind when choosing window trim how much attention to you want to call to it and what type of window treatments you will be using. It's a pity to cover beautiful window trim with curtains or draperies.
If you are fortunate to have a custom millworks in your area, your casing options will be more than at the local building supply store.
There are books available on decorating with interior trim. A popular book can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Decorating-Int.../dp/0376012668 Decorating magazines are also a good source of inspiration.
Fluted casings and rosettes are very popular. You can find photos of these and other options if you explore this site: http://www.newoodmoulding.com/Rosettedetail.htm
