I think this ^^ makes a difference in polished look. It's also period-appropriate
Don't most blinds go inside the molding without sticking out?
Only custom ones, if you buy off the shelf from Home Depot, you just put them on the outside of the window.
Actually Home Depot (and JC Penney, etc) carries MANY different sizes so it's quite possible to buy off-the-shelf and still do inside-mount shades or blinds. I even found cordless roman shades from PB that fit inside-mount in the windows of our 1920s home and they only offered a handful of widths.
Sorry that custom blinds salesman led you astray.![]()
