A decorated shutter

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic week and are ready for the weekend! :)

Do you remember the two shutters I was painting a few weeks ago? Well, I finished painting them before we went on vacation, and was originally going to put both of them in the kitchen with a picture or something in between, but it just didn't look right, so...I put one in the dining room...

Oh but now that I am looking at these, the shutter is looking a little crooked, but thankfully that is easy to fix! (tomorrow)

This was fun to do~ there were already four holes for screws in each shutter, and I have a lot of glass knobs on hand. :) I thought it would be fun to have an extra place to hang up cute things! To hang up the plates on the shutter was easy peasy (lemon squeezy)! All I had to do was use a plate hanger and slip a ribbon around the top (I added a dot of hot glue to close the ribbon to the plate hanger for extra security, but that's just me!) and tied the ribbon around one of the shutter rungs! :) Oh, and I know that the word on the little chalkboard plaque looks like it says "cat", but I wrote "eat", for lack of anything inspired! :)

Tomorrow I will show you what I am doing with the other shutter...AND I will have one of those finished projects for you to see~ remember those chalkboard pantry doors I wanted to do? ;)

Well, that's all for me for now...Have a blessed night!







P.S. I forgot to mention that the little chalkboard plaque was an idea I copied from Jen at Tatertots and Jello. All you need is a metal-ish plaque (which should be easy to find at a thrift store) and paint! Just spray or brush chalkboard paint onto the center, and use your favorite color on the edges! :)
