Framing Windows with Paint

 

I recently came across this bedroom (via this month’s BH&G) and thought this was a pretty clever solution if you have windows without moldings.  They simply “framed” out the windows using a darker shade of paint (very similar—or maybe the same as—the crown molding).

Along the same lines, here’s another example of how paint was used to frame out a bare window.  Of course, this would only work for those lucky few who didn’t need shades for privacy.  Interesting idea for bringing in a little color, nonetheless:
