My favorite wall of shutters is over at
Kari combines a wall of whites and the end result is NOT short of amazing!
What a great mood these beauties set on this patio!
Here’s another fabulous use for a shutter…paint it in your favorite color or give it a crackle or some shabbiness…the skies the limit and then you have a place for all those special little postcards…notes and more!
I snatched this pin up but was unable to find the original link up…but I think you can get enough inspiration from just a picture…give a shutter a paint or stain treatment of your choice…add some cool knobs and there you have it!
Now here is some drama on the patio! How cool is this… there are succulents growing in the slats…tons of potential with this idea!
If you are looking for a charming cottage touch any where in your home…one of these will do the trick!

Leave it to HGTV to use a shutter for what I personally think is such a natural…a great table!

Seriously…this was the only picture they had available and I really had to share it with you because the end result is so fabulous!!!! Miss Kari…if you are watching…I can sooooo see you doing this! 🙂
Well this topic will have a part 2 in the future because there are just so many other things you can create and I want to show you them all! So now when you see a lonely shutter sitting on the side of the road waiting to be discarded…save it…save all of its friends and give them NEW life in so many different ways!!!!
