Get into the garden and enjoy Sunday outside!

Light and Breezy

It's a hot afternoon in summer .... the shutters are closed, there's a gentle breeze blowing, you're sipping a long, cold drink .... what a perfect way to keep cool! 

Shutter Speed

I love shutters!  If you've been following this blog you may have noticed that all the french doors here at Brabourne Farm (see  Image 3) have shutters - they are wonderful in summer for keeping the house cool,  warm in winter and most importantly, look beautiful!

Shutters

One of my favourite architectural features are wooden shutters. Brabourne Farm house has 15 sets of french doors and shutters - every room, except the laundry, opens directly onto the terrace that surrounds the house. One of my best memories of building the house was when the shutters were fitted - I was amazed by the beauty of the filtered light (particularly in the early morning) and the unexpected colonial feel they gave to the interior of the house. Did I mention the afternoon breeze ....
