  2. Reclaimed Shutter Shelf

    This was another late Christmas gift. The plastic (but sturdy) shutters were given to me, and all I was told to do was make a shelf… I just ran with the idea. With a good sanding and washing, some crackle paint in my high-tech spray booth, and three new distressed white oak shelves, the...

    Another project from our "smaller", first house here. When we bought the house it had dried and faded shutters on just two front facing windows and when I priced out getting a set of plastic/vinyl for all the windows I was shocked by the price! Solution: buy some regular #2 pine and start...
