Use a Shutter to Build a Shelf
I never pass up a shutter!
Shutters make great organization stations and even a privacy screens.
Today I'm turning this old shutter
into beautiful shelves!
I created shelves using 1" x 4"s, triangle shaped mini blocks, and a strip of moulding that I added to the front of each shelf to form a ledge.
I painted the shutter piece in Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Curio.
As you can see the milk paint dries a very dusty color...
I finished off the piece with a coat of Hemp Oil.
Hemp Oil is my new favorite finish.
It is easy to apply and gives a rich beautiful color to every color of milk paint.
The shutter shelf is finished.
It is the perfect place to hold knick knacks, even post a photo or note with a clothespin clipped to the shutter slats.
