Shutters, no shutters, or some shutters?
Comments (14)I'm sorry, I just saw this. Take a look at this brief article from an architect that illustrates the size and location of proper shutters: https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/residential-architecture-101-shutters/ Here is another, more detailed article for you: https://www.oldhouseguy.com/all-about-shutters/ Once you have seen the right size shutters on the right windows, you notice all the cheapo installations especially by builders.

Comments (12)It is probably just me, but I find the design of this house not to be all that good. The front looks like it was fussed over for hours in an attempt to make the floor plan look good but ends up pretentious, then the other sides were left to happenstance. I mean it will most likely be built as it is drawn, still shedding rain and holding in heat when it is wanted, doors will open and close, countertop will still support the toaster and coffee pot and cutting boards and all the kitchen gadgets. This happens all the time, as if there is nothing more out there for us. Maybe each morning I should just brush the hair off my forehead, brush back my temples, tame my beard and head out each day, leaving the hairs on the back of my head to continue their rest, fore I do not see them so what should I care....See MoreHelp!

Comments (15)Love that your shutters ARE fully functional with dogs!!! I would keep them on the lower, porch windows. Don’t mess with your upper windows. They look beautiful as they are. No tinkering with trims, etc. I’d keep your shutters and paint them a light color. A pale taupe, a soft green, a faint blue. Or white. Very soft. Just a hint of color. Your home is absolutely beautiful....See MoreHelp!! Shutters or NO Shutters?
Comments (13)I love shutters, but in your case, agree with others. Your window trim is really nice and I think might look better alone. I’d remove them, live with it a bit, decide from there. You can always put them back on. :) Congrats on your new, beautiful home!...See MorePatricia Colwell Consulting
