I shutter at the thought

Tyler found the original shutters to our house in the attic many moons ago.  They were a hideous shade of peach.

$17 later we had a gallon of Knights Armor paint.

We put on a few coats of paint & began installing them yesterday.

The curb appeal it gives our house is worth millions!

Okay that may be a stretch, but what an improvement!

This project has been one of our easiest and the least expensive!!

Once the project is complete & officially scratched off our To Do List, I’ll share before and after photos.

  6. I love shutters. I've been throwing out little comments here and there about how great they'd look on my little house. It really does add so much character. Great job.

  7. They look great! I spray painted our faded shutters last year to change them from green to black and I love how they look.
