So here it is, our first radiator cover finished. It's so beautiful - Mike did an amazing job. They look professional in my opinion. We painted it white - the same white as all the trim in our house.
It's such a relief to no longer worry/wonder if the heat is on when I get up in the morning (will I burn my legs if I'm not careful?!). Plus it looks SO MUCH nicer than the chipping old radiator. And there's a shelf! For stuff! (Though we coated the top lid with wipe-on poly for added protection - so we have to let that cure before I can put anything on it).
The radiator is not centered under the window, therefore the radiator cover is not centered. Yes, we could have created an extra-wide box to compensate, but our bedroom is so small we didn't want to waste any space unnecessarily. I still need to be able to open my dresser and all that good stuff. Hopefully once I hang some curtains up (one of these days) I can camouflage it a little bit.
