Not Your Ordinary Shutter

I have had a love for shutters for a long time now, new ones, old ones, used to compliment windows, etc. But, my absolute favorite shutters are those used to decorate with, painted, fancied up & used in unordinary ways :)

Here is my before... ORDINARY shutter



And here is the AFTER

Painted with leftover red paint I had in my basement.

I didn't prime & only did one coat so it has that dark wood bleeding through.

This is what I will be using my shutter for. Christmas cards & old Christmas photos of my kiddos!!

This is not your ORDINARY shutter anymore :)
