Shutters

LFH being virtually a complete re-build, we don't have venerable old shutters with the cracked paint of ages you see on postcards, or at our neighbours. Here are our newly painted shutters. A huge improvement over their 100% white plastic predecessors.

We held up so many paint swatches my eyes began to roll around like a kid's kaleidoscope. Everyone I know who has painted shutters presents them with a slight colour qualm. "They were supposed to be darker" or lighter or whatever. We thought ours would be more grey. Initially we were a bit surprised, but we're getting used to it. I like the way the colour changes in different light. Covering the raw wood has suddenly made the house feel much more like a home.


P.S. ET your request for interior shots has been noted.
