When we lived back East most of the homes had that colonial look where you had the lights and shutter in place that highlights the simple features of the home. Like this post mounted light from Hinkley lighting that is a great accent to any home when you are trying to update your home. This gave the home a more unique style and really made for a classic look. Most of the homes that had exterior shutter were called colonial style homes and the shutters were usually a contrasting color to the main home. For example our home was white with dark green shutters. It would be interesting to take a colonial style home and have it built out West were we live.
