Plantation Shutters

This might be really boring to some but getting plantation shutters was like Christmas morning for me, I was so excited.  So here is the scoop on how I got this expensive luxury that seemed to expensive for us.  I new when we moved into the house over a year ago that I wanted plantation shutters.  We had some one come out and give us a quote and I quickly realized that $1, 000 a window was going to be an expensive window treatment.  So, we put it off and left the windows with nothing.  Our neighbors thought we were weird because you could just see into our house but that didn’t bother me.  Finally, we justified getting them when I realized that we could hang them our selves and save some money!  Yes, do it our self.  Chris was very skeptic but I had complete faith in our DIY skills and ordered them online from http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/.  We got them for almost half the price it would of cost to pay some one to come out and install them for us.  Installing was pretty easy and they look amazing and the quality is great.  I get giddy just thinking about them.  Who knew window treatments could bring such joy.

  1. Your house looks amazing! And the window shutters fit perfectly into your house design. It’s pretty smart of you to get some plantation shutters for your house. Plantation shutters are energy-efficient since they make the room warmer in cold weather and let the cool breeze in during summer. This can save you a lot of money from electric bills. Also, it gives a sense of elegance to the house. If you want to make your windows more appealing, you can put patterned curtains to add contrast to the look.

  3. I must say, your window looks pretty classy! Even without window treatments, it looks stunning inside and outside. I must say, good move on the shutters. Apart from being energy-efficient, it also provides aesthetic value to the windows. The elegant and sophisticated look of the shutters can never go unnoticed.

  26. Shutters are great for adding charm and protection to your windows, doors and other parts of your interior. In Australia’s warm climate, they can be used to control the amount of sunlight that enters the home, while giving your doors and windows additional design. Interior shutters are fitted to the inside of your window, swinging inwards to allow you to open and shut the window or to let light in.
