Hello everyone!

I have been reading projects here using plantation shutters, but nothing is hitting home with me so far.

I have been given 6 full length cedar plantation shutters, some others have enabled us to crate an outdoor room on our deck. The six remaining ones have slats which have broken free from either one side of the frame or the stick which allows them to open at once. Any ideas you talented creatives have would be great please.

I once turned a shutter into a really nice coffee table.

  Depending on length, can you make a screen to place in front of a window with a view you don't care for,since they do open you can still get some natuarl light in room.
