More detail here: http://www.ibuildit.ca/my%20old%20hou... making the three piece head casing and the simple cove apron.the apron will be installed after the tiles go. For this project, tom installed window trim that has reeded side and head casings, plain corner blocks, a thick stool, and a dainty apron, all of which he copied from the original trim.
