Best New Cottage: Board and Batten Shutters and Poplar-Bark Shakes
 Laurey W. Glenn

Shutters and Shakes

2.  Simple Board-and-Batten Shutters 
Shutters crafted from rough-sawn Western red cedar planks are held together with hand-forged-looking strap hinges. Complete with similar shutter dogs, these operable panels are anything but outdated. Great sources for them are timberlane.com and vixenhill.com.

3.  Poplar-Bark Shakes
The use of poplar-bark shakes is about as ecologically conscious as it gets. Hand-peeled and cut on-site from harvested tulip poplars, this siding choice creates the illusion that the cottage sprouted and grew from the land, just like the surrounding trees. Go to poplarbarksiding.com.
