I love shutters. I have always loved shutters. I had short ones in my former living room. I have them in my kitchen window and, until about 3 years ago, I had them in one bathroom. Yep, I love shutters!
In the last few years, I discovered plantation shutters. I have seen them in magazines, catalogs, on HGTV and, more recently, in a home I visited. Wow! Now I was really in love! No need for curtains or curtain rods. The windows look so finished, clean, and neat.
So, when we were shopping for our construction project, I asked the Hubby if we could price them. He thought they were a little pricey...but when I told him I would never have to buy curtains again and he would never have to hang another curtain rod....he reconsidered! :-)
Back in Jan, we ordered them from Lowe's. It took a few weeks for them to arrive and Hubby was still working his seasonal retirement job. But, Friday was his last day there and yesterday was his first day as a "shutter hanger!" Thus, the picture above! (one of eight!) Aren't they lovely? I am so happy! It is amazing how different the room looks!
It is taking a while, but things are coming together. I am so grateful for the space, the wonderful job our contractor and his workers did, and for a very "handy hubby" who is able to do the finishing touches. He is doing a great job and saving us a bunch of money...getting them installed would have cost us as much as the shutters!
The "reveal" is getting close! I can't wait to share it with all of you!!
We are slowly replacing our outdated window treatments with shutters and I am so happy with them. Wish all the windows were done but it will be a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh lucky you! I wanted plantation shutters, but our windows are 6' tall and there are 10 of them. I can't wait to see the rest of your reveal!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm going to like it!! I love shutters, too.
ReplyDeleteI love them. We have all wooden blinds in our home. When we moved in six years ago it was just too costly to do Plantation shutters at the time but I do think they are the best!
ReplyDeletehi Debbie! Oh yes, see, I knew someone would also say that navy is a springtime fashion color. Ooooooh, and I love shutters, too.
