The houses are known for their shutters and window boxes. I love this post because that is one of the things I really miss about New England(certainly not the weather!). You have shown wonderful images. I agree, shutters and window boxes add so much charm and style.Blooming Rose Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927029523022093567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-4265613152553555522011-05-17T05:40:04.104-07:002011-05-17T05:40:04.104-07:00Shutter and window boxes have always been my favou...Shutter and window boxes have always been my favourite things! I had window boxes on one of our former homes and the flowers just spilled out of them in a huge explosion of blooms and colour. Passersby would stop in front of our house just to admire them. Hopefully I'll have a home with window boxes again someday :)lisaroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201063720578870254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-25375561732379836952011-05-17T05:15:26.962-07:002011-05-17T05:15:26.962-07:00A resounding YES to window boxes!!!

When we bought our white house, the shutters were dark green. But, when we put in all new windows, we took them off as they really need to be replaced. 2 years have passed and I can't commit to putting them back. I love my light green door and am not sure what color shutters would compliment that. What do you think?!!! I'm stuck.<br /><br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-2023206527925945372011-05-16T21:15:52.075-07:002011-05-16T21:15:52.075-07:00I do love window boxes!

I've never had window boxes and absolutely love them. These are some gorgeous examples. We have distressed painted shutters on our home now and I absolutely love them. They set the tone for the entire house. I agree with Debra, love the yellow window and the purple window box. I've never thought about yellow and don't know if I could really do it, but wow what a statement. <br /><br />Fabulous post. I've got to save some inspiration pics here. Have a great week.
