This is what our trim looked like after staining.  We were extremely fortunate that the Minwax Cherry stain on the fir trim and windows was an almost exact match to the stain on our cabinets.  It really helps tie the room together, and it didn’t require any customizing of the stain, like we had to do on the living and dining room windows.

 No more plywood or holes in our kitchen wall! 

The frames Julio made for the casement windows.  The windows were not perfectly square and were slightly warped, so it was challenging to make the frames fit them well.
