Waiter, There's a Hole In My Wall


As part of our third-floor bathroom remodel, I decided to cut in a transom window over the bathroom door. When open, it should help ventilate the room better, and the window will let in some light. Besides, there was plenty of extra height since the ceilings are 10 feet high here.

Kathy's about done painting the transom window itself (pictures to come later), so in the meantime I've been trimming out the frame around it. I did a fairly straightforward design that looks about right for the period, with trim that leaves a 1/8-inch reveal around all four sides. The same style is repeated on the other side of the wall, in the hallway. I'm pretty happy with it.
