WEB EXCLUSIVES:
Storybook and Classic Shutters
Shutters and exterior blinds are often associated with earlier periods; they’re prevalent on Cape Cods and Greek Revivals and romantic Victorian homes. During the Arts & Crafts period, shutters were used on some bungalow variants. They were standard, too, on the cottage and revival homes of the same period, especially Dutch Colonials and Storybook houses. If you are going to use them, keep these tips in mind.

Patricia Poore is Editor-in-chief of Old House Journal and Arts & Crafts Homes, as well as editorial director at Active Interest Media’s Home Group, overseeing New Old House, Traditional Building, and special-interest publications.
Poore joined Old House Journal when it was a Brooklyn-brownstoner newsletter in the late 1970s. She became owner and publisher and, except for the years 2002–2013, has been its editor. Poore founded the magazines Old-House Interiors (1995–2013) and Early Homes (2004–2017); their content is now available online and folded into Old-House Journal’s wider coverage. Poore also created GARBAGE magazine (1989–1994), the first unaffiliated environmental consumer magazine.
Poore has participated, hands-on, in several restorations, including her own homes: a 1911 brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and a 1904 Tudor–Shingle Style house in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where she brought up her boys and their wonderful dogs.
