Reused Shutters or The Way How to Exploit Them?


Old shutters are quite often leftovers after reconstruction of homes. 
Sometimes you might find them thrown away (which I don't understand how is this possible) or very often in flea markets costing a few "moneys".  If you are lucky enough you may discover ones which remember the story of certain ages.

Vintage rustic shutters are made from solid wood so no way it can be treated as waste. It is a piece of home, garden, spot, nook... decoration!

Somewhere I found a very nice expression which I think is just right when it comes to shutters: "Trash to Treasures"!
Take a tour to charming appeal for home decor!

    1. Thanks Michelle!
      You are absolutely right. I think it makes even more special as it has been used for ages, years... and now there is a possibility to reuse again and make an outstanding interior or exterior decor element for everyone who likes this kind of style. Lovely, isn't it?
