[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Which reminds me the reaction from an European friend regarding shutters.  He realized that most shutters in the area are decorative, not functional -- and, sadly, a majority of them are ugly vinyl ones.  He asked me, if those shutters don't work, why are they installing them?  I answered, just for decoration.  "For decoration?!?"  He just couldn't understand why on earth people would install shutters that purposely don't work when they could install shutters that do work as intended:  "isn't the point of having a shutter the ability of actually using them?"  After that conversation, whenever I am in Europe, I take a look at shutters around me and, indeed, I have never seen a purely "decorative" shutter that is not operable.  (By the way, operable shutters look much better than purely decorative ones, in my personal opinion)[/quote]

Exactly ! I am the European from 10:04 and we just bought a house in DC with decorative shutters. When me and my European husband went to visit it for the first time we were like "Great ! Finally some shutters" We were disappointed to find out they were fake. But we still love our DC house.[/quote]
