The Old Sign Shutter Shelf That Saved My Home
2 Materials
Easy
The best day ever was when my neighbour paid me a visit... to inform me he was knocking over his old fence, and did I want the wood?
That poor man... I sprinted past him, running down the road faster than my own two feet! (old wood vs chocolate? I can't tell the difference)
So this weekend I was giddy to make something cool with it. I painted up the wood planks to look like a chopped up crate, added a couple of old shutters, and ended up with the cutest old sign shutter shelf in the land.
This little shelf came at a really good time. I had been feeling kinda 'meh' about my home, but this one, new project really brightened up my outlook...

Bits and pieces of this and that, this upcycled old sign shutter shelf was so simple and fun to make!
Here's the fence that started the reclaimed wood frenzy. Isn't it GORGEOUS?
Well, let's convince him that his efforts were a good idea!
Sigh... do you love old signs as much as I do? We will be BFF, I can just tell!
Planks were cut to size, being careful to showcase natural edges.
This cute little shelf was the PERFECT addition to my most favourite room in the house!

Love this idea, but I am even more intrigued by the checker/chess board and yardstick toilet paper holder! VERY cool! I can see why it's your favorite room
