Our rental apartments in town have interior shutters that fold (and that date to the 1600s--built to last!).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-91888505946713186242016-10-30T17:54:23.887-04:002016-10-30T17:54:23.887-04:00People do come up with the most ingenious ideas! ...People do come up with the most ingenious ideas! And the look is perfect.<br /><br />Your area has been having the most unusual HOT days now and then this fall. Your body's thermostat is going to become very confused. <br /><br />I admire how organized you are, Rosemary, in prepping for the different seasons.
