Plantation Shutters

Part of our recent remodeling included getting plantation shutters on the bedroom and living room windows.  I love the look. No more curtains. Ever. I am happy about that.

The living room before (I'd already taken the curtains down):

I had noticed that my chair and the hardwood floor in front of these two windows had faded out some over the years due to the direct afternoon sunlight.  I can tilt the bottom to redirect the light which should prevent further fading.  I like that.
