We have a newly constructed kitchen extension, and I was going to fit an MDF window cill and then hang a vertical blind in the window.
To cut a long story short, I ordered the blind, but forgot (duh!) to deduct the thickness of the intended cill from the measurements, and now there isn't room for it. The plasterer has left a perfectly flat and smooth surface, though, and I was wondering whether if I used something like gripfill to stick a D shaped timber trim to the front edge of the bottom of the window, and with appropriate sealing and priming, whether I could just paint the plaster (and trim) and 'fake it'. I was going to apply satinwood, and wonder whether I just might get away with it.....
