Ahh, shutters! I love them! They make me think of spring because I envision throwing them open to let the cool spring air in as you complete your spring cleaning and start the season anew.

I also think of shutters as great eye makeup for a home. They’re so quaint and add such personality to a home’s exterior. I would love to have shutters on my future home. Don’t they just make you want to throw open the doors and windows to greet the new day?

If you can’t have shutters on the outside of your home, you can have art work or furniture made from shutters. There are tons of DIY projects that utilize shutters. Some of my favorites include a headboard made from shutters and a plant stand made from old shutters.
