Moldings

We have seriously neglected the 2nd floor to concentrate on the main level and it is coming together beautifully. This week we are getting light fixtures and I DIY'd these window moldings myself. The raw wood versions were less than 1/3 of the cost of the ready-made, non-wood moldings so I'm painting, cutting and installing my own; one window at a time.

One of the complications of our home (that I didn't fully appreciate until this project) was the fact that nothing in this house is truly square. It's all crooked, which is one of the things we love about this place and it definitely adds to the character. But it does make things like moldings and baseboards difficult. I still want to add another coat of bright white, fill in the gaps with silicone and finish the touch-up paint but what do you think about how they are turning out?

This is the raw wood that I am starting with...3/4" x 3.5" x 10'. Using this real wood instead of that expensive fake stuff keeps costs down and also keeps it a little rustic.
