I love shutters! If you've been following this blog you may have noticed that all the french doors here at Brabourne Farm (see Image 3) have shutters - they are wonderful in summer for keeping the house cool, warm in winter and most importantly, look beautiful!

ReplyDeletewe must have the same taste eh?
too bad you live so far!
Your photo is my favorite! I love the look of french doors with shutters. You don't see it often here in the states, except for the coastal areas.

I have always loved shutters. I was so glad when we got to add them to our bedroom many years ago and then last year to the dining room and front living room. So much prettier than blinds. I love your room photo.
ReplyDeletei love shutters...love the way they "slice the light"!
ReplyDeleteI love shutters as well! Very nice.

Gorgeous! Lovin' yours and #1!
ReplyDeleteI have a set of VERY old 1/2 window shutters I salvaged so many years ago...I have forgotten where. They are in my kitchen window with lace curtains at the top of the window...and I love them...every season...any time of day or night, whatever the weather!
They're all soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my blog - what was I thinking posting those daggy photos of myself!! Have a lovely week :)
Hi Leigh! Like so many of us, I love shutters too! I would love to put them on our new house, but have a feeling they wouldn't really suit this little place in suburbia... Might wait till the next house :) Have a great Tuesday xo Louise
ReplyDeleteI love your external shutters Leigh - it feels so lovely to live in a house with those.
ReplyDeleteThose black ones are pretty gorgeous too!

Those are the touches that make a house a home...the light is so pretty...and yes I did notice your beautiful shutters.
ReplyDeleteNew ones or old chippy ones, like the ones in New Orleans I love them all.
I am suppose to be on my bloggy break and you entice me with your pictures... Leigh...Thanks!

Lovely Leigh and the third photo is my favourite...just love your accents around a room...they tell such a wonderful story! I know I have mentioned that before, but I think they are great!
ReplyDeleteJeanne
Leigh your room in photo #3 is beautiful! And of course I love all of the shutters. I hope to put shutters in our master bath when we add on.
ReplyDeleteKat :)
I really like working shutters. I am wondering what is your ?westies? name?
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post. I am in the process of changing my window treatments in my great room and I've come to the conclusion the shutters would be the best fit. Will definitely have to catalogue this post.
ReplyDeleteWe put white shutters in our home last year. Best thing we have done so far!
ReplyDeletei love shutters too! i think they are so classic.
ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes A thing of beauty is a joy forever and i would say that waking up to these fab shutters certainly must be joyous, cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteI was only thinking about shutters the other day (am in the middle of deciding on some window treatments) - they give such a lovely look to a room. Love that first image x
ReplyDeleteShutters have such wonderful clean lines. Alas the red dust here would soon win the battle! Next house absolutely and NO curtains, unless they are muslin!
ReplyDeleteOooooh your room is so pretty and I love how you photographed showing the flowers in the foreground. And the title of your post is so clever! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteLove these, especially your home!
ReplyDeleteI like your vision about house life style,that makes your blog absolutely indispensable!
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit
oh yes, they look so lovely! I'm only wondering what happens with the dust (we have lots of it here), just as Julienne says...
ReplyDeletehope you are having a beautiful day! xo
Hi Leigh, I linked your shutters post to mine today - and thank you for putting all this lovely inspiration on your blog!
