Amping Up Windows

adding a bit oomph to window frames is an simple as well as efficient method to produce the illusion of architectural grandeur. In H&H’s February 2013 issue, style editor Joel Bray produced a diy trompe l’oeil sill that provides strong existence to a ordinary window utilizing only a stencil, foam core as well as paint (no trim required). Here’s exactly how he did it:

Step 1: pick your profile. browse on the internet for a style as well as profile that fits your windows as well as the rest of your space. broaden the picture to the suitable size as well as print it.

Step 2: Make a stencil. Trace the printout of your profile onto a piece of foam core as well as cut it out thoroughly utilizing a utility knife.

Step 3: setting & paint. location your foam core stencil under your window as well as outline the shape onto the wall with a pencil. Then, paint inside the lines to produce your beefed-up window frame.
