Casement interior

A decent profile was created from a Riviera casing, a rounded corner moulding and the extended jamb. It was the closest match to the Carolina casing that I've been installing elsewhere in the house. (Kelleher Corporation has excellent online moulding profile information) This semi-custom profile was needed because the required depth of the interior wood shutters was beyond the thickness of a single casing. I also decided to forego the typical stool and apron detail for this window because the shutters would dominate the look, and there would also be the chair rail.

Custom ordered from Smith+Noble, the stained shutters was another splurge. It totaled $585 after tax and delivery. The advantages include a perfect fit, a super easy installation and a totally luxurious ambiance for the room. The online cost was also better than any physical store including Home Depot for the same quality. Additional savings can be had by compromising on the overall size, the louver proportions or the operating mechanism (related to choosing wood or plastic). But for my Pella? Not a chance. The old blinds were given away and are now a distant memory.
