I should ask, got shutters inside?
Miss Layla has been talking about using shutters on the inside over at the Lettered Cottage

this week when she shared how she framed out her living room mirror with shutters.
Anyway, it reminded me what my cute neighbor did in her boys' room with some old shutters. She painted them a dark brown and screwed them in on either side of the window. I love the way they frame the window and just give a pop of color and texture to the room. Oh, and do you just love those little cowboy boots her son used to wear on top of the dresser? They are the cutest, and yes, we are most definitely in Texas.

I tried to get the whole window, but being the photographer that I am :), it didn't turn out, but you get the picture, right?


And of course, Nester has shutters inside. Look at them as a perfect backdrop for that big ol' star:
And, to cover up her TV:
How about as a headboard?
This idea is from the Crafty Nest~she made hers into a bulletin board
Love all these ideas.
Sooooo...got shutters? On the inside? Have you used them in your decor?
I love shutters as well , in fact I built a pair to cover my tv back in March and I love the charm they add. http://chriskauffman.blogspot.com/2009/03/under-wraps.html here is a link to the post where I show them , I also show how I did in preceeding posts.

Love all the shutters. Hmmm...I think I have some laying around somewhere. Wonder what I could do with them....
ReplyDeleteOkay, I had just decided yesterday that I was going to use an old door as a headboard, but now after seeing the cute shutter headboard with those stinkin cute plates, I'm rethinking the whole thing!! Thanks for sharing...

ReplyDeleteI SO love this idea! I used shutters for the headboard in our guest room last summer. Got them off of Craig's List for $15, sanded, painted and mounted. What a great project! Here are a couple pics if you're so inclined!!

No...but I am dying to! I have been on the hunt for some for a while, with no luck yet. I saw that picture in BHG and fell in LOVE. The size, color, and placement is PERFECT!

I saw some at the Habitat Restore a few weeks back. Now I'm thinking I should have bought some. I hope they will still have them this weekend when I return. Keep your fingers crossed.
