March 12, 2009 -- Shutterstile LLC has added a new "Country Cottage" design to their line of innovative window shutters. The new design features a tongue and groove frame in combination with interchangeable panels of handcrafted tiles in an art-nouveau butterfly pattern. The result is reminiscent of the stylized, nature-inspired motifs that made art part of everyday life at the turn of the 20th century.

"Our Country Cottage shutters add a charming touch to any home. The vibrant colors of the handcrafted Porteous tiles, set against the green stain on the natural wood frame, reminds me of an English garden," according to Elizabeth Donley, founder and co-owner of Shutterstile. "The Country Cottage shutters soften the hard lines of a building, giving your home vintage appeal with the ambiance of a cozy country cottage."

The shutter in the accompanying photo features a butterfly design from Porteous Tiles' art nouveau collection, surrounded by a border of complementary white and light green glass tiles and set in mushroom grout.
