Yes, that's how my mother's work too, but then, you can't put Venetian
blinds inside to keep the sun out, and in Australia, we certainly need
them!
For some reason, outside shutters have never really taken off in
Australia, although quite a few of the early buildings had them. I cannot
understand why, they would be so useful! They are coming back now, with
those aluminium wind down ones, but wooden ones like in Mediterranean
countries hardly exist. With so many immigrants from those countries, I
can't believe no-one ever made shutters popular!!
