7 Inspiring Ways to Use Vintage Shutters on Your Walls ...
Shutters come in all shapes and sizes, and you can often find some pretty big ones ... be daring enough to try this last idea — a whole wall covered in shutters!
Hi Judy,
Here's one idea. These shutters are all the same size, but you could mix yours up to make a very unique look. You could paint them all the same or choose different colors depending on the look you want for your home. I love the idea of hanging family photos on the shutters to give them a final touch. Of course, you can choose to hang anything that you like. :) Wishing you the best.

Hi Judy, here are a few ideas that may inspire you - https://homebnc.com/best-old-shutter-decoration-ideas/
Sounds like an awesome idea !!!
I would clean them first , then seal them using a clear matte spray paint , or even better , clear sealing wax ! Then play around with the arrangement on your floor first , before hanging them on your wall . You can attach the saw hangers on the back to hang them easily . Also consider their weight , you might want to hang them on the wall studs ( check yours out first , most are about 16 inches apart , but this can vary depending on the age of the house ) keep this in mind when you are laying them out . PLEASE post your project !!! I would love to see it !!!
