My custom purple shutters

We put a new window in the front and I wanted to do something funky. We own English Cocker Spaniels so I worked with Timberline Shutters in PA and they used a jpeg I sent for the cutout. I used copper sheets to back the cut out. I recently added the window boxes and colorful flowers. I hope the fill in sand thrive!

    I searched online for a custom shutter company and was inspired by their catalog. I knew I wanted the dog cut out and they were very happy to work with the jpeg I sent them. I make custom quilts and had used that dog as an applique pattern so I had it on my computer. I can't say enough about Timberline Shutter Company! They were amazing to work with

    Love the flower boxes (or whatever they are called). I wish someone would help me get mine up on the shop. But I need to paint the clapboard behind them first. Funny how there is always a job to be done before you can do the one you want.
