I like the painterly smears of rust on these shutters and am happy that my apartment windows only have blinds to dust, nothing to be painted by the management company.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05092690457095379968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158641455640376104.post-85112121684906981922013-06-02T00:55:11.369+02:002013-06-02T00:55:11.369+02:00Ah yes, the famous French shutters that they claim...Ah yes, the famous French shutters that they claim let air in .

Indeed, who doesn't go downhill without maintenance!<br /><br />I do like shutters on windows in France, and the variety in the South is astounding. They can be in the gorgeous pastels of Provence, and maintained to the hilt, but be no more gorgeous than the rusting examples in your post.<br /><br />Many thanks for your contribution to Theme Day, Stuart.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647929951322724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158641455640376104.post-86368519466731594722013-06-01T22:01:15.973+02:002013-06-01T22:01:15.973+02:00I did not appreciate the value of real working shu...I did not appreciate the value of real working shutters until we moved to France. There are of course a variety of styles and materials...steel, wood, synthetics. But they all provide a simple and effective solution to temperature control, security, and privacy.<br /><br />And, I had not thought about the similarity with school lockers in the States, but I see it now. Same idea. Protect your "stuff". And, yes, they do require some regular maintenance or they start to go downhill...but, hey, who doesn't?
