Crazy for Shutters....

 I NEVER pass up buying olden shutters...no matter the condition.
There's so many things that you can do with them and they add more
charm, character and plain FUN to a room quicker than the wink of an eye..
LOVE. 'EM.


 I am just waiting to see THIS 
CREAM AND WHITE GUEST ROOM
in a top decorating magazine any time now.
It just needs to be discovered.

How adorable is that shutter...and olden window...

When I fell knee-deep in love with her room,
I asked KRIS if I could share a photo....
well, she said,
"Hi BJ,
Yes you can use the pictures how flattering.  Thank you."
so I took THREE.... :>)
 Olden cabinet doors...
OH  HONEY


 You must go over and see all her beautiful pictures of this delightful room.
"Thanks, Kris, for letting me have these photos...now, if I could just get you to 
let me have this room..! ! !"

Here's a few other uses of shutters that I love..



 How cute and smart is this BAR CART on the left...

Cutest table on the right...

I luv the colors, too.






 HOLY COW...
if I can just find the shutters,
Mr. Sweet is going to have a NEW PROJECT...

I REALLY love  this whole design...
a mirror would look fabulous in that arch...don't you think ?


You might remember how GREAT he did on these faux windows
using olden shutters we found at a tiny Flea Market....
(does anyone notice the same COLOR showing up in these photos...??? )
I bought 4 olden shutters years ago
and used them in our other house....
I found the perfect places to use them in our new home...


These shutters are beside a window in my dressing room...

they are long shutters and I was afraid they would look weird beside a normal sized window...
I just didn't want to cut them off... 

after I put the little basket table beneath the window, it made it all come together for me.



.... the other two shutters flank the doorway into the dressing room.
(this isn't a very good photo but you can see the shutters anyway_



I found a ton of beautiful ways to use adorable shutters...
I am looking for more to add a little CHIPPY LOVE around the Summer House.

If you've used shutters in a great way, would you show us...??

  2. BJ, I think of Kris as the door queen. :):) She is a wonderful person. I think she would help anyone. She has the decorating knack. I like the long shutters you have too. I do agree a mirror in that arched shutter would be perfect. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  9. Wow! Those are all great ideas for using old or new shutters, bj. I just love each and every one of them. I especially love the turquoise one with the table and arch. Yes, a mirror would be perfect in that arch. However, They could've skipped the arch and just put a pretty mirror there. What do you think?

  17. People are so clever! I saw a Pinterest idea today using a shutter as a shelf where plates were standing up using the grooves in the shutter.

  23. I love the look of old shutters AND old windows too . . .
    Many decorating perks can happen with mixing up things with shutters and windows.
    Thanks for the ideas I found in this post. I really liked the headboard idea . . .
    Using old frames without anything in the frame Is another good idea . . .

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
