Shutter Dogs

Home Depot


I adore shutter dogs!  Do you? No, it's not a Quentin Tarantino movie about windows.  I mean those little fixtures that are on the base of exterior shutters?  Most of the time they are the curly S shaped pieces but you can find them in lots of shapes if you look hard enough.  In the good ole days they were meant to hold the shutters open and maybe your shutters need some holding. But mine are fixed to the house and are purely decorative so my dogs would be too.

All About Shutters


It's important to note that some shutter dogs mount to siding, some to the window sill, and some to brick. They are secured in different ways and you have to make sure you are buying the correct kind for your surface.

The other night I took Pixie for a long walk in a neighborhood in a neighboring town. It's a historic town and most of the houses are 100 years old or more. They all had shutter dogs and I decided that I was going to join them. It's on the list now!  Look at some of these inspiration pictures!

  1. Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic

    but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I'm getting tired of

    Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I

    would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  2. The subsequent time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a

    lot as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to learn, but I

    really thought youd have something fascinating to say.
    All I

    hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you could possibly fix when you werent too busy in search of attention.

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content

    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
    only having one or 2

    pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
