for providing me with the fabric for this project.
.. Here’s our deck with the old green shutters.We still have a bit of work to do on that area but it really does look a million times better back there..
The problem with these shutters is that they’re built right into the siding so they look really really fake.They look OK from a distance, but they really bugged us.Also, white houses with dark green shutters are really popular around here and we didn’t want to be “one of the green houses” on our street anymore.. And now here’s how that window looks with new, slightly less fake-looking DIY shutters!.
Just so much nicer, right?.Here’s how we made them in like 5 minutes flat!.
Chris picked up some 1×12 rough cut pine.
The roughness of it gives it extra farmhousey appeal!(And doesn’t the need always seem to arise at some point?
This is one of those things that’s just so much greater than the sum of its parts.The lavender and the peppermint scents together are just one of those things that you’ll want to keep coming back and smelling because it’s so addictive.
If you become the weird lady that keeps smelling her hands, then just try to stay home until the scent wears off.To use it, just run your hands under water, scoop a bit out, and scrub away!
