I am a firm believer in the power of trimwork. There is no better way to add architectural interest and character to your home. It can enhance any style from traditional to contemporary. Here are some inspirational images I compiled from Houzz.com with ideas for how to incorporate trimwork into your home....give it a try, you won't be disappointed!
