I just had new "new construction" windows installed, and I have to
cut new interior trim out of pine. My plan is to stain them.

However, being from CT, it's cold up here this time of year and
staining in the house without ventilation probably isn't good for my
pregnant wife.
I was thinking of installing the trim now (so we'll have something
to hang our blinds from), and staining in a few months. The trim
will be installed with small trim nails so it shouldn't be a
problem to pull it back off.
The interiors of the windows (Anderson) are unfinished pine as well.

Am I hurting anything by waiting a few months?

I would be concerned that you might handle the trim enough over
that time that the small amounts of oils from your hands will cause
uneven staining. Do you have a garage? Even if you have to
"borrow" a friends garage, I would try to get them stained and
finished as soon as possible. Have you considered putting up some
simple rough plain non-milled trim until summer?

For what purpose? Just to hang curtains/blinds?

-CF

Dust, cigarette smoke, opening and closing curtains and or blinds,
cleaning windows opening and closing windows. It does not take much to
cause a problem when finishing.
