Ahhhh, new rain gutters! We’ve been without gutters for almost 4 months. We removed them, along with the vinyl siding on our 1939 stone house, as the final part of a 10-year restoration. Some of you may remember that we were without gutters during the Nashville 500-year flood in May. Not surprisingly, our basement flooded. |
Since then, my husband and I have been debating what exact kind of gutters we wanted for this house. After much research and debate (you have no idea), we finally ordered musket brown half-round gutters. And then we waited. And waited. Special order, you know. Early this week, they FINALLY arrived and were installed. |
I can tell you that NO ONE has ever been happier to get new gutters. No more panic attacks every time gray clouds gather. No more spreading tarps (this blue one has been a lifesaver) around the foundation everytime it thunders. No more checking the basement every twenty minutes during a rainstorm. |
My favorite part are the cool leaderheads. Never heard of a leaderhead? You obviously have never researched and debated gutters like I have . . . |

They are beautiful and the leaderheads are such a nice detail. Love the color too.
Iam so-o-o-o-o happy you have gutters! They are absolutely beautiful. I never thought I would say that about gutters. I am also glad that I have a new word in my vocab – “leaderheads”. Maybe that will come up one day in my crossword puzzles. I especially like the cute ‘pixie’ om the porch.
They look great with the house! Great style and color. Glad you finally have them!
Looks great. Perfect color. They really blend in with the roof — you don’t really notice them. But I DID notice the leader-heads. NICE!!!
Good news…they look so good…perfect for your house
FABULOUS!!! And I learned a new term! Your leaderheads are perfect. Great eye for detail!
Hello Kristie,
My husband and I just picked out replacement gutters today and I researched pictures online and showed him that I wanted these decorative details added to the guttering and he informed me that they are called conductor heads or (leader heads). Anyway, funny enough, we picked out musket brown too! Which is how I found your lovely site! May I ask where you got your leader / conductor heads? Thank you so much! I’m also an Interior Designer, great minds think alike! Ha!
Thanks,
Angel
