Update 5/18/16:
Well, it took me a whole year but I finally added vinyl board and batten shutters to the barn! I bought them at ArchitecturalDepot.com and they were very reasonably priced! I really like the way it looks, much less "naked."
Original entry:
To me, the aisle side of the barn looks like it's missing something. When the windows (which slide from the inside) are closed, it's a bit better because they have six panes with white trim separating them. However, the windows are really only closed in the dead of winter. This is what it looks like most of the time (there are four windows total but I cut the fourth one out because the wash rack is in front of it):
How can I dress this up? Black shutters to match the house?
(Side note: Hmm, that photo makes it look like my barn is pitch dark inside, which is not the case. In fact I hardly ever have to turn the lights on in spring, summer, and fall. I guess it's just a contrast issue.)
