I would shop your local home improvement store to find a molding that you like. After that, it's a matter of removing the old moldings and replacing them with the new. Decide if you want them painted or stained and apply that finish before installing them. You will probably need a miter saw for the corners and paint for touch-up. Good luck with your project, Richard!

  No need for a professional. Otherwise they wouldn't be selling trim to the public. Simple to do with just some basics.

  Thank you William for taking the time to answer my question. I have all the tools shown except for the clamp which I will purchase when I get the wood. Can't wait to dress up my two windows.
