A bedroom located over the garage benefits from the extra light double gabled windows provide, and window boxes constructed from wood matching the shutters connect with the home’s existing color scheme.

Sizing them appropriately to line up over the two windows and front door below creates a strong vertical element to highlight the height of this home. That height is essential to balancing the sprawling layout of the house.
