New Shutters- Now's the Time


You’re going out of town.  Hawaii.  Two weeks.  The dogs are all set, the neighbor kid from down the street is going to walk them twice a day for money to help pay for a trip to band camp this summer.  The fridge was emptied of everything that might go bad and you set lights to go on every night between 5:30 and 6pm, so any unwanted visitors don’t come snooping around while you’re away. 

You’re just about to leave in peace when you attempt to drop the blinds and are caught.  Snagged.  Tangled.  “Not again!” you think to yourself.  You’ve been meaning to have the blinds replaced for years and just haven’t gotten around to it.  At parties people notice and right now, while trying to make it out the door to sunny Honolulu you’re definitely noticing. 

In desperation, you yank, and yank, when… whoops!  The blinds come flying off from above the window.  You rush out to your husband in the car to avoid missing your flight and the first thing that comes out of your mouth, “Sweetie, we need new shutters.”

It’s your favorite time of the month again. All the money that you’ve been working so hard to accumulate gets to go towards precious bills. Yes!
As you work your way through payments, you get to electric. You realize it’s higher than usual for this month, and it’s taking away funds from your “Bahama’s Trip” jar. 

That’s the last thing you need on this super cold snow day. You look out the window into the winter wonderland and dream of blue oceans and beach air. 
That’s when you notice the crack in your window. Of course your electric is higher this month! All that expensive warm air is slipping through the crack, just like your dreams of a beach getaway. 

Adequately treated windows can lower the costs of your electric bills during the cold months. When temperature drops, and the wind chill is bone crushing cold window treatments can make all the difference in the heating of your home. 
Perhaps all this beach dreaming is getting you carried away, and you’re ready for an entire home makeover to flip your house into the beach home of your dreams. 

There’s help for that too! 

Located in Nashville, Just Add Shutters can fit and install shutters (interior and exterior) for any shape, size, and number of unusual (super beachy) or traditional windows!

Ever been searching around Pinterest for some fun and easy ways to decorate or change up things around your house? It’s a great website for DYI projects and stylish ideas. Most of the time the website even provides step-by-step directions, so that your final piece perfectly resembles the one in the picture. But let’s be honest, how often does that happen? Obviously the person that came up with this creative, crafty idea is pretty artistic, but that doesn’t mean you possess that same artistic gene! Okay, so maybe it’s not that hard when you’re making a wreath out of cranberries for the holidays, or turning an old window seal into a picture frame. But what if you’re looking for ways to make your own chandelier out of a broken mirror, or create your own shutters from some rustic pieces of barn wood? Hm, not as easy peasy as those 1,2, 3 steps make it sound is it?

Not to mention when it comes to a handy man project like this there is no doubt there will be many more than three easy steps. First you’ll have to measure your windows, and make sure you saw the pieces of wood to perfectly fit each one. Then you’ll have to strip the old, chipping paint and sand down those splintering pieces of barn wood before you can even begin your actual project. Painting is the fun part, but you’ll have to find the exact color, order it, pick it up, and buy the right brushes. Gosh, it seems like that was a lot of work for what Pinterest made seem like such a simple project, and you aren’t even half way done yet! Just because you’re homemade shutters somewhat resemble that pretty Pinterest picture doesn’t mean they’ll just jump onto the house themselves!

I guess you could spend hours watching YouTube videos, pausing the demonstration every 30 seconds trying to follow along with this probably very experienced instructor. It will be ten minutes into the video before you realize you have the wrong size screws and/or screw driver. Even a five-minute video could have your head spinning after you’ve watched it 12 times!  If you’re really lucky your husband may be able to figure it out, but that doesn’t mean the installation will withstand even the first sizable thunderstorm that comes your way.

Why not avoid all this wasted time, money and stress? Just Add Shutters specializes in interior and exterior shutter installation and window treatments. Just Add Shutters has been in business for over 25 years and has a fully trained staff equipped to create any custom shutter you could ever dream of! Just Add Shutters is completely committed to the satisfaction of their customers and will stop at nothing to exceed any of your shutter, window treatment, and restoration expectations.

When a young couple first gets married one of the most exciting projects is finding and buying a house to make their home. Especially for those couples that have not lived together prior to their wedding one room in particular is paid very close attention. Bet you couldn’t guess which one… yep, the bedroom. Married couples want their bedroom to be a place where only positive and uplifting emotions are created and encouraged, emotions such as joy, love and happiness.

A growing trend in today’s society that helps accomplish the right atmosphere for a room or home is Feng Shui. Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that deals with the art of placement. Feng Shui provides tips and explanations for how to organize furniture, hang art, and light rooms to achieve the perfect ambiance in your home.

First, Fung Shui experts recommend painting the walls tan, light brown, light green, calm blue, or even a mute lavender. These colors help to promote a cozy and welcoming yet tranquil atmosphere to begin and end each day. Bright colors like red, orange or yellow are associated with opposite sides of the yin and yang and are too ‘loud’ for the bedroom.

Second, it is suggested that couples choose a piece of art together that communicates love, happiness, joy, peace, and success to hang in front of their bed. This way each morning when they open their eyes to welcome the day they are reminded of those positive emotions.

Finally, a critical choice in the atmosphere of the bedroom is the way in which it is lit. The lighting should be flexible to allow plenty of sunlight to enter during the morning, but shut out the night once the sun sinks away. Experts say that when people are exposed to natural light when they first wake it prompts the production and release of serotonin, the “happy” hormone. Therefore, the choice of shutters and curtains is extremely important.

Couples should choose shutters that provide adequate protection to their window treatments and seals, but also allow plenty of light to enter the interior of the home. Open the shutters and throw back the curtains in the morning to let lots of warm sunlight start the day. The evening should be toned down with dim light. The shutters should be cracked to allow just a slight view of the setting sun, allowing just a bit of light to enter the room. Finally, once the moon takes the sun’s place in the sky the shutters should be completely closed, excluding any darkness from the bedroom. Choose thick shutters that also help keep the heat in and cold, night air out. Tightly pulled shutters along with closed curtains help create a little cocoon for you and your newly wed to feel close and cozy.

Want lighting that creates the perfect ambiance in your bedroom? Just Add Shutters has tens of options of functional and beautiful shutters to give your room the perfect amount of light at any time of the day! Just Add Shutters can even customize interior and exterior shutters for your home in the perfect shape, size and color. While you’re at it, have the fully trained crew check your window treatments for cracks or leaks that could be working against your heating system this winter! Hope to hear from you soon.

Shut out intruders, Just Add Shutters
When Susan and Mike bought their beautiful suburban home in a rural area with very few neighbors, Susan was absolutely in love with the seven-foot plantation windows that covered the front of the house. Twelve years later their sweet little stand-alone home is now surrounded by close to 200 other homes. The happy couple of course has made efforts to meet their neighbors, but both with full time jobs and two children under the age of seven, scarcely have time to mingle.  When they first bought their home Susan loved the idea of bare windows where she could look out from the living room at night and see the rolling green hills, but now that her once majestic view is obstructed by house after house she’s decided a bit more privacy would be nice.

Not to mention, Sarah, Susan’s little girl is four and loves to run around the house naked. It’s sweet and harmless in the innocence of your child’s mind, but not everyone’s thoughts may be so innocent and sweet. Although the neighbors Susan and Mike have meet seem very nice, they are not naïve about to reality of the world today. God forbid anyone in the area is a convicted sex offender and happened to be walking their dog one night only to look over and see sweet Sarah changing into her pajamas. Not to mention a huge intersection developed just a block from the house a few years ago and has become a popular stop for homeless people to beg for money. It isn’t unlikely that a few may wander around the neighborhoods looking for homes of opportunity. Mike would be devastated if that shiny, new 60-inch plasma Susan snagged for him on Black Friday disappeared one night when the family went out.

The more Susan thought about the possibilities the better she thought of having shades and shutters added to her windows. Her neighbors down the street had updated their exterior shades to a beautiful olive green that Susan found very complimentary each time she passed by. She picked up the phone and called down the street to find out what company they had used to update. After a short and pleasant conversation she was soon dialing the number for Just Add Shutters.
