Ouch!

Here's another closet door treatment I did in my house. Trimless. I like the clean look. Non pre hung, I just framed very carefully and rocked with round corners. I used high quality plywood instead of sheet rock for the wall thickness so I could chisel out and recess the hinges

That's very, VERY cool. I really like the clean look.

Conventional door and window trim bores me. I've trimmed out the interior of my house with header caps, fluted, rosettes, whatever. Anything to break from the norm... but I have an old Victorian and can get away with wierdness.

Also very nice, I like the fluted and also the rosettes and stuff with more character. Our new home was built in 1924, but is an old farm house. It's got tall baseboard (10", IIRC), shiplap walls and some colonnades, but I think the house is too simple/rustic for that look around the doors and windows or it's what I'd be doing.
