Plantation Shutters or traditional shutters?
Comments (17)Yes, Penney's installed them and it's included in the price. There was only a choice of real wood or composite. Then you could pick your color (they had many colors including stained) You also pick your louver size. They are made my Norman Shutters. Scroll through their website and there are some beautiful pictures. I wonder if different Penney's use different brands???? I only did the front of my house but that included french doors and that sometimes raises the price a bit. So with my 40% off sale, my total for 14 windows and 2 french doors was $6100 and then I got another 10% off for doing the whole house with them. (wood blinds on the back) So that brought it down to $5490 The French doors have a cutout for the lever that I think looks pretty cool.

Comments (6)Drastic weather temps won't effect good wooden shutters. I'm in OK., where it gets frigid in the winter, and triple digit days in the summer. We had our shutters custom made. They're so well made that when we added-on, we had to take one of the big shutters down, and they built a new window the same size as the shutters. The people who made our shutters came out and re-installed the old one. Wood shutters are the best for keeping cold and heat out of the house. The only thing I don't like is how they block light from coming indoors unless you get the one's with wide slats. Wide slats are okay, but look too modern for my house. Go custom for good quality!...See MoreMixing curtains and plantation shutters in same room?
Comments (7)I would remove the shutters. Put up woven shade with as much light control as you wish. Then frame arched window with drapery that will hang from single rod high over arched window. Then repeat with woven shade and panels that will close completely. Add simple canopy bed and night stands as desired....See MorePlantation shutters on sliding doors and ? on windows
Comments (3)Rosemarynjf, What did you decide to do with your windows? we just ordered plantation shutters for two sliding glass doors that face front and also for a large 3 section casement window in the same room. I’m a little nervous about how different it will look since we have just had white curtains for years. Do you have pictures of your shutters on your sliders that you can share?...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
