While taking my daily dose of "Pinterest"" I came across some great pictures of old shutters used in different ways. We usually expect to see them on the outside of our homes and sometimes inside. They add a finishing detail to our exterior siding or brick. They looked great new or weathered and can come in all colours of the rainbow. Nowadays they are mass produced and are made of mostly pvc, sometimes aluminium but originally they would have been hand crafted wood. The interior shutters are pvc or wood and give your windows a classic look, easy maintenance and practical durability and function. The pictures I saw gave me new ideas to contemplate. Take a look at what I found. . . . . . .
Next time you are at a garage sale or a flea market see if you can find a shutter and come up with your own unique way to use it. If not why not just paint the ones on your house a new colour or add some inside instead of drapes.
