Need an Easy Fix for a Blank Wall? Add a Wall of Shutters.

We created this wall in the guest bedroom with shutters I collected from flea markets, thrift stores and yard sale. It all went together like a giant puzzle! And I have shutters left over for other projects!

    It's a song my mother used to sing to me. Rise and Shine and give God the glory :)

    On a DIY program about 6 months ago, someone actually covered the ceiling in shutters.

    This really looks amazing. I love how the color of the shutters goes so well with the bedding and assories.

    Oh, I just love this idea! I have a blank wall in my Guest Bedroom, that has just been crying out for something special. Did you paint them all the same color? They look like they may be various shades of white. Did you just nail them up there, or is there a special technique for hanging them?

    Looks like a great idea for the craft room I'll be finishing after we redo the flooring in the guest room. The card idea is great too. Thank you to all the wonderful people on here that share their ideas.

    Oh wow! This is abslutely gorgeous and so very creative! I am just thinking ...I can do this..but I dont have a wall with enough space to do it to! Except the entry way.hmmm HOw does this work with dusting?

    Bernice, dusting is very easy. You have to get a 4" paint brush to use only for that purpose......you can get in all those cracks and crevices very nicely that way.

    I use my Kerby vacuum to dust. No sprays or chemicals; all the debris goes in the hepa filter bag then out to the trash can. I even use the vac on the ceiling fans. Yes the hose, extensions and attachments, not holding the whole thing upside down in the air. Sounds basic but I had coworkers who where envisioning me doing just that when I told them I don't dust, I vacuum. lol That would be something to watch though :)

    Love the look, but even using the vacuum, that's a lot of time dusting for me.

    Amazing idea! However I would have had the slats pointing the other way, so you could hang stuff on them if you wanted.

    I think hanging the slats the other way might collect more dust and result in more work. I do see the ones on the left flip up and down and that would be an option.

    I love coming back to postings I have enjoyed before..I still love this idea. Marg C yes, a paintbrush with a long handle!!! Or vac attachment! Jan P I dont see why it would have to be done very often..like blinds. we don't do them every week , usually?
