Stained Shutters on White Casement Windows

These are pictures of a job I did a few years back for a customer in Alamo Heights. Most of the houses in that area have the same type of cased window with the wide flat trim, typically painted. This customer wanted a rich look, so we installed the stained shutters inside the painted wood trim. Most people would have chosen a painted shutter to match, so this is a bit unusual, but stunning. We used a 3 ¼” louver with the Horizon side tilts in our 470 Walnut color, and a midrail to align with the window lock. Because the window are a double hung type, the midrail allows us to mount the shutter frame further back allowing the larger 3 ¼” lover to tilt without hitting the window lock. She was so pleased with the job we did for her that she recommended us to her next door neighbor. He has purchased the same color and louver size shutter for his house, with a few modifications to fit his style of décor. Mary Hudson
