Okay, so the title speaks for itself. As most everyone knows my husband and I are under contract on a home that is 137 years old! So, I've been searching for some vintage pieces or vintage inspired pieces to place in the home to go with the age of the home.
I was out at a local antique store and I thought why go out and spend all that money, when I could probably make some of them myself.
So, I found these shutters stuffed in the back of the shop. I got them for $5.00 a piece.
I love the size of them. Their small and not to overbearing. My husband has a nice green shade of valspar paint. So, I took that and began to paint them.
My thought for these is to put them together like a square and hang a wreath of lilacs over the top of them. This piece will hang on the wall at the top of the stairs.
When we are sure that we will be moving into the home. I will post pictures of the finished projects in the home.
Great idea! Good luck on the designing of you home. Keep us updated.
