A trim frame assembly includes a first trim member, a first end member, and a second end member. The first end member has a first side facing the first end of the first trim member and a second side opposite the first side, with the first side having a recess formed therein that extends into the first end member through the first side but terminates before reaching the second side. The recess has a perimeter edge, which has a shape that generally follows the profile of the trim member wherein the trim member is insertable into the recess. The second end member similarly has a first side facing the second end of the first trim member and a second side opposite the first side, with the first side of the second end member having a recess formed therein, which extends into the second end member through the first side of the second end member but terminates before reaching the second side of the second end member. This recess also has a perimeter edge with a shape that generally follows the profile of the trim member wherein the trim member is insertable into the recess of the second end member.
