Need Novel Idea for Shutters

schoolbelle
18 years ago

I found a pair of shutters (each about 50" tall 18" wide with small slats) at an antique mall. I had visions of knocking off the loose paint and then maybe hingeing them to make a screen or perhaps hanging them on the wall just as shabby chic art. HOWEVER, when I cleaned off the loose paint there is next to no paint left and they're much more shabby than chic! Plus they look much larger in the house than I had envisioned!

I need some ideas of what to do with them so I'll feel less guilty for what's looking like a bad purchase. Hubby thinks they're someone's cast-off and is wanting to burn them or put them out at the curb.

Anyone else had visions of doing something cool with a piece of trash and then end up totally stumped?
