Exterior Shutter Advice Please

5 years ago

Please help a gal out! We are replacing our shutters. They serve only a decorative purpose. I am considering staying with board and batten style. The present shutters are sized as if to be working shutters. I find the ones on the double windows to look overpowering though and the weight has caused them to sag as well. I am thinking of making these one board less (5”) which would allow for the visible brick on each side of all the shutters to be similar but may still look like working shutters from the street. I don’t want them to look skimpy. My thoughts about color are SW6159 High Tea. I think it would look great with the roof. I haven’t been able to get the Sherwin-Williams app to work to preview colors.
Second issue, beams and posts on porch must be painted now due to carpenter bee damage. Do I do a dark brown like gutters or match the shutters?
Thank you in advance for any insights, advice you may offer. I appreciate the time it takes.
