TUSCANY HOME DESIGNS

TUSCANY SHUTTERS

. Tuscany shutters application may be interiors or exteriors - perimeter windows and doors

o       Tuscany shutters structure of yore included those that were reliably sturdy – e.g., 2x lumber or similar - fully enclosable and not likely louvered, except possibly segmented or paneled as an awning window . . . [Please to keep in mind that, although Tuscany is generally recognized as central, seminal to the Italian Renaissance, the likes of Machiavelli and the Borgias were prominent; thereby, notions of fuller privacy thereabouts in shutters and else . . . e.g., preferential siting of staircases out of main entrance view . . . were forms following functions]

o       Tuscany shutters finishing palette is both surprisingly limited – apparently, to three basics – pale blue, pale green, or pale gray – or optionally, varnished over open grain
