Keep shutters real, operable and a wonderful color. Don't use shutters that are too small and permanently nailed open. Bring them to life by having them look as if they've been touched by human hands.
This vernacular French country building illustrates not only the function of shutters in action but also various applications. The top floor uses double shutters at each window, while downstairs the squarish window is covered by only one shutter. Even the numerous doors include shutters.
like barn door/shutter. Can close in doors for protection. Cons....pain in the ass to do that every time.
IDEA: Make barn door-like on rails that slide together and lock.
clearly over and over again,,,the authentic rockwork is priceless. This has someone's spirit and hopes for the future and family inside of every piece.

Large door shutters for porch side as the accent... but then we would have windows on the door... if you park your new car in there that would be pretty to look at ;)
