Plantation Shutters - A Great Investment


 

“If you don’t have something positive to say, just don’t say anything!” this was my mother’s advice to me as a child.  It’s been hard for me to sit down lately and find a lot of positive news about decorating your home these days.  But, today the sun is out, my spirits have picked up from the winter blahs and it’s time to look forward to spring once again.  Just finished pruning our roses in the front yard and my husband mowed and fertilized the lawn….ah it’ll be spring soon.  And, today is my only brother’s birthday - a beginning of a new year for him once again.
Walt & I are in the process of working on a really wonderful home, a brand new construction in Marin County.  When we met with the new owners and their Realtor at the house, it was refreshing to hear what a Realtor thinks are the best window coverings for resale in her market.  It appears that plantation shutters in Marin County are still highly valuable when it comes to reselling your home there.  The Realtor said that the market in Marin has placed a high value on custom shutters, so this helped our client to decide to have us install 37 of them in their new home.

 We will be installing the Hunter Douglas Palm Beach polysatin style plantation shutters as they are economical yet stylish and will hold up to family use for many years.  They are easily cleaned and maintained and offer great energy saving qualities.   UV resistant shutters that can stand harsh sunlight or humidity, plus are guaranteed not to warp, crack, fade, chip, peel or discolor – what more can you ask for in a shutter?  Plus, I think their new home will look stylishly fabulous when the shutters have been installed.
