Look!: Colored Window Casings

081508-windows1.jpg We think about the inside of our home, as well as out. But what happens if you live in a building where you aren't able to personalize the color of your shutters, or the direction your grass gets mowed? You get together with your neighbors and paint your window casings. Click through the jump for a close up...

Even if your landlord doesn't allow you to paint the exterior (although there's a good chance such things have never come up in conversation before), you could still cut a piece of wood to size, paint and seal it. It would tap right in, have the same effect and you would forever be known as "the red window girl," or "the blue window man."

Those are window "jambs" not "casings". Casing is on the interior wall -- it's the trim that goes around the window.

Lovely idea though.
