Hi-
The windows in our townhouse are pretty plain. They have no molding around the outside, just a single strip of wood forming the sill at the bottom. Someone advised us to add trim around the windows to make them look more finished. However, a number of the windows are located right in a corner, with one edge of the window right along the corner angle. What this would mean is that we could only install window moldings around the top, bottom and one side. Wouldn't this look a little weird? Should we just leave the windows as they are?

sounds like it would be a real pain, not to mention a lot of work & expense. i would leave them as they are, because once you get blinds/shades/shutters underneath draperies on them, you won't even notice they lack trimwork. and with a good wall color & furnishings, that's something you just don't notice (unless you're thinking about it!)
