It's a busy Thursday here while we work to get out our September newsletter and coupon offers (you can sign up in that box in the upper right corner), so this time we'll inspire you and send you on your way to local salvage shops.
Recently a Martha Stewart email caught our eye with this crafty repurposing of window shutters as an entry way organizer. Salvage stores always have oodles of weathered, sunbeaten old shutters which would look great for this project. Secure the slider and affix them to the wall, then slip cards and notes
in. Vintage hooks could be affixed to the bottom to hold keys. I'd use
an even number of shutters to create a trompe l'oeil
closed window in my windowless entryway. Below are your local salvage shops and coupons.
Remember if you repaint to use low or no VOC paint.
