Architectural elements in decor have always been a favorite of mine. Even with the 90's craze of shabby chic behind us, I still love old shutters. They look nice leaning against a wall or re-purposed into head boards, doors, and room dividers. If you ask me, they are way more chic than shabby.

I see old shutters often when cruising the thrift stores. They usually go for about $10 a piece.
You could easily create a headboard for two twin beds for around $40.
Have you found a new way to use old shutters?

Shutters are one of my favourite things! Wish I could visit one of your thrift shops but I suspect I would wind up buying out the place!!! Beautiful pictures - thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove the shutter inspiration Rene! Hope you are having a fabulous time at market, can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could bring old shutters into our home, but my husband doesn't understand the word 'patina'. He always says, 'You're going to paint those, right?' -sigh-
ReplyDeleteI just love that navy room from Lonny. I love the history and story behind old shutters. We have some from a home my grandfather built when he first started building homes. Will use them some day!
ReplyDeleteI love this post, Rene! I think old shutters are so cool, and I have a pair that I'm trying to figure out what to do with. Never would have thought to make a little table with them, that's clever.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images. Love shutters. I especially love hte lonny and the last images.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time.

I am up to 5 in my house...and I could use more! Great inspirational pictures! Love the double beds with the shutters as the headboards, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love the way old shutters look when used as a headboard. Beautiful collection of inspiration pics! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese are the type of pieces that take a room from looking like every one else's space--to beautiful. Great post!

To market to market to buy a fat pig, home again home again jiggety jig. (That's all I can think when I read that you're at market! Sorry. :)) Hope you're having fun at market my friend!
ReplyDeleteLove the four shutters leaning against the wall like they're not trying to hard!
I love the soft beachy blue shutters from Decor Pad. They're so pretty used as a headboard with the white bedding. I also love the blue and white room from Lonny. We haven't used any old shutters in our home. Might have to change that. Hope you're having a good time at market!
ReplyDeleteI just read "The Old Post Road" blog and she is looking for shutters! Like the head boards for the twin beds.
ReplyDeleteI adore old shutters - so many ways to use them and they add character and interest! Great pics - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Rene, totally more chic than shabby. Oh my goodness, I love all these pics. Such great inspiration. My mind is spinning now!
ReplyDeletelove it! some friends of mine have old shudders painted in fun colors and roughed up a bit and they use them to post pictures!
