DIY Shutter Inspirations-28 Ways to Decorate and Repurpose Old Shutters

I picked up some shutters a few weeks ago at a garage sale and I have been brainstorming what to do with them. There are so many DIY shutter projects on the internet to turn trash to treasure. I ran across this amazing wall of shutters and I am wondering if I should start a collection myself!


My only concern is who would I find to dust this every few months! It is gorgeous though and probably completely worth it. What an inspiration!



I love the simplicity of lines and the neutral beige color of this beauty. There is a great tutorial for this by HGTV.


Look at this amazing headboard by Girl in the Air. She has a great tutorial too with spectacular pictures.


Forever Decorating cleverly took these old shutters and created some decor for what looks like a peaceful outdoor oasis. I wish I was enjoying that swing right now.


Cottage in the Oaks made a "nook" by creating a bright blue shutter privacy fence. I love the vibrant contrast of the the blue with the natural landscaping.


 I am so impressed with this rustic planter box from Sand Flat Farm. It would look perfect on my old barn.


Here is another clever idea from Girl in the Air. I guess she originally saw it on HGTV. I would have never thought of combining concrete forms and shutters.


Pretty Handy Girl painted her old shutters to make a Christmas card display. Her house looks gorgeous. What a nice added touch for the holiday season. I guess it is Christmas in July time.

What a lovely conversation piece and so much more kid friendly then a glass top table.

A Glimpse Inside Blog

I like the creativity of not using just old shutters alone as a decoration. A Glimpse Inside Blog has a great tutorial for jazzing up these shutters with some style.

Houzz describes this as "Old South meets Carribean." I could not have described it any better myself.


Shutter Utensil Holder by Ideas Magazine

This shutter serves as a unique way to display kitchen utensils with a nice country cottage flair.


Shutter Hall Tree by Going Coastal

Going Coastal was genious when she decided to craft old shutters into an exquisite little hall tree with rustic roots and a perfectly positioned shelf.

Shutter Organizer by Funky Finds Etsy Shop

This lovely shutter with display slats and chalkboard has already sold, but head over to Funky Finds Etsy Shop for some more vibrant farmyard treasures.

Who said old shutters had to be used in their original form? Look at this eye pleasing use of old shutter wood into an embellished dresser.

My favorite part of this design is it hides the details on the board. Let's be honest...this is a super organized bulletin board and mine would never be that neat!

I hope you find some inspiration in these amazing shutter projects. I have not decided what to do with my new shutter treasures yet...but when I do...you will be the first ones to know!

    The constantly changing fashionable take on window shutters demonstrates the depth of the subject. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, several of today’s most brilliant minds seem incapable of recognizing its increasing relevance to understanding future generations. Often it is seen as both a help and a hindrance to the aristocracy, many of whom fail to comprehend the full scope of window shutters. Though I would rather be in bed I will now examine the primary causes of window shutters.

    Assuming a user needs to know how to setup Canon wireless printer, then, at that point it very well may be handily done by adhering to a bunch of directions. how to reconnect canon printer to wifi Canon printer wireless setup is using to interface a user's PC and the Canon printer through a wireless network. In the event that a wireless association is set up, there will be a benefit of printing anyplace using the devices. In the event that a document is saved in the devices and it should be printed, simply select the record and make it printed. thinking about how to set up a Canon printer on your Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, iPod, or Android telephone? Basically download the "Group PRINT App", press your printer wireless to interface button, and the data put away on your devices, including your WiFi secret word and name, will naturally be moved to make the setup interaction speedier and less complex than any time. The two strategies using in wireless association are the WPS strategy and the canon association technique. At the point when a user is searching for a Canon printer setup, any of these techniques can be using for the association.
