shutters

What is it about vintage shutters us die-hard decorators love so much? I think it's not only a reflection of a different time, but also the simple graphic lines. Shutters just make very cool backdrops!

 My current favorite shutter placement in my own home is the one that resides behind my stove, against the board and batten backsplash. The added detail draws your eye into the center of this work station, blending right in with all the other woodsy whites.

 You've seen my kitchen windows before. The shutter in the one window is just... fun!

This idea isn't new, but it's cool all the same. Push the use of a shutter abit more by making it productive. It's the perfect little note holder accessory located beside the telephone.

 

How I did it:

Here's a really easy and changeable way to achieve this. I simply backed the shutter with a removable tape. I'd suggest a low tack shelf paper. I personally used what's called premask, the material you apply over cut decals. (found at sign shops) Change your mind? Just rip it off and redecorate!

Let's talk shutters. What draws you in about them?

The 3rd themed linkup is waiting for your own creative input!
