Houston, we have (some) shutters!

The house painting project continues, but the end is in sight now!

Yesterday, the painter started hanging some of the new black shutters. We bought them already black so they will never have to be re-painted.

He installed the shutters on the first floor windows...


...and on the garage windows.

He also installed the newly painted wrought iron piece above the front door. In the old color scheme, it was painted pink (or ROSE, as Spouse calls it). I thought it should be black, but Spouse wasn't convinced. Now that it's installed, I think he agrees that it looks nice!

The rest of the shutters should be up by early next week, then this project will be done!

I love the black shutters & the railing! So pretty! You know what it needs now.....some window boxes ;)

Janet said...

Thanks, Benita! I would LOVE to have window boxes, but unfortunately, we have the crank-out kind of window, so every time you would open them, they'd hit the flowers! Otherwise, we WOULD have them!

Hm...yet another reason crank-outs suck! (see Janet's comment above regarding flowers) (I have REAL quirky issues with that...it's a personal problem) And yes, we have those windows too, unfortunately. My dream home has double-hung (the kind that open UP, not OUT). :)

The paint job and shutters look AWESOME! And I think the black is spot-on...no other color would do!
