The interior trim had to match the rest of the house - in basic design. I was free to work the details out as I saw fit. Here you can see the trim around the front door/glass block.
The trim went in first, and the glass block was installed tight up to the trim, working from the outside.
This expensive stack of oak was a lot of lumber to trim out a small addition! But one thing the Craftsman style is noted for is the use of fine woods on the interior finish work.
All the casing had to be milled to width on a table saw. The edges were eased with a palm sander, and the trim was joined with pocket screws.
The doors were 8' of solid Bolivian mahogany, milled from scratch - beveled, mortised, and hung on site-built jambs.
The dust from processing the doors was very noxious, causing an immediate reaction when anyone entered the room. Dust masks and a lot of cleanup made the situation tolerable!
Here you can see the pocket-screw joinery used on the interior trim. This is the trim around the entry door.
The electrical box cut into the trim - so this was my solution to make it look presentable.

Craftsman style room addition, I was the General Contractor / finish carpenter. Design by others.
