Use construction strapping running from corner to corner diagonally to hold the shutter square, and paint the strapping to match the shutter. Unless the shutter is closed against the window, no one will ever know it is there. That way, you can save your money on the shutters that are repairable (but loose and iffy) and replace only the shutters that are missing or beyond repair. (It always makes me crazy to see saggy shutters when it's so easy to square them up again.)<br /><br />I'm so excited for you!<br />ConnieConnie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-9021166137979176032011-05-21T01:39:43.674-04:002011-05-21T01:39:43.674-04:00It never ends does it?

Actually, origially, there probably wasn't ANYTHING there but . . . I find a rail DOES come in handy!!!! A nice wooden one would look better don't you think?<br /><br />Over here, with houses of stone and no real trim to paint, doors are a myriad of colors -- bright blue, Christmas green or Christmas red, yellow and an occasional black one. I think they do it for individuality!!! How to make YOUR house your home -- paint the door the color you want!<br /><br />Blue Row's front door is drab wood but the back ones are what I call English blue!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-734366429843211302011-05-21T00:13:38.577-04:002011-05-21T00:13:38.577-04:00I noticed the missing shutters right away.
