Can anyone give me advice or suggest any resources to help me design some window shutters to spice up the look of my otherwise very plain house? It is an older house with Aluminum siding and no trim around the windows. I thought some fake shutters would help to break up the monotany of my single color house, but I have no idea where to find any interesting designs or how to figure out reasonable proportions.
Thanks

I don't get it, is the picture file size too big? My apologies. I've posted a smaller one here.

some of us have a no other option than dialup...
a file that large is hopeless to download.. might be as much as 10 minets..

I think your house looks very nice, but I'm sure you're right, it could use a little color to give it some life. I'd use two shades, lighter above, and a little darker below, on the horizontal siding, then a white or very light trim (fascia). (I personally don't like fake shutters.)
A window shutter is a stable window covering installed for the security, privacy and to prevent outside elements from entering the house.
