Antique Wood and Iron Shutters

When visiting a new furniture/accessory/antique store in town, we came across these magnificent antique wood and iron shutters. The design consultant said that they came from Italy...I could just imagine those amazing shutters flanking a window of a beautiful Italian villa...We did not purchase these shutters on our initial visit...but on the second...you can read about this story here: http://housepitalitydesigns.com/2012/08/28/...

I love Love Love the shutters! They are a beautiful piece of Italian architecture that can stand alone as a breathtaking piece of art. Which got me thinking..... I think you should remove the plates and greenery. From the photo, you see white circles, then the Italian shutters. I'm feeling that the shutters need to be showcased separately, with space between them and whatever you have on your mantel. Maybe something low, like olive branches to add a wee bit of color and to tie in with the ...»
Italian theme of the shutters. I hope my comments inspire you, and not step on your toes. P.S. Please adopt me and will me your shutters. (No, seriously).
