Again once I first put in the board and batten, I did not add a few small particulars that I made a decision wanted to be addressed.
After I substitute our baseboards all through the home, I do not all the time add shoe molding or quarter spherical. I like an easier look with out that added trim, and if I set up something I desire shoe molding as a result of it has a thinner, smaller profile.
Subsequent up, I needed to deal with the vertical molding I initially put in underneath the window trim:

After I first put in this board and batten look, I wasn’t certain how I needed to trim out the window, so I simply angled the trim in the interim.

After which fastidiously eliminated it, since I used to be reusing this piece.
That is such an amazing and low cost strategy to make a window like this opaque. Over time, the contact paper tends to shrink up a bit, so my unique plan was to exchange it with the identical product.
As a result of I used to be utilizing what I had, I did not have a chunk large enough to cowl the entire window width. When you look intently, you’ll be able to see the place I lower two items to fulfill up alongside that center mullion within the window.
I cherished the look a lot, I ordered yet one more small roll and did the identical to the highest portion of the window as properly. (It regarded odd with simply the underside lined anyway.)

It is a small factor, nevertheless it actually finishes off this trim work. It lastly seems full — I ought to have accomplished this years in the past!
I spent about $40 in supplies for these small updates. So price it to provide this room the ending touches it wanted!

I might pull a coloration from the wallpaper for certain.
This is not an enormous earlier than and after by any means, however I undoubtedly discover these small particulars. The window is my favourite replace for certain. 🙂
