Well, these past few months have been quite a trip! I've managed to (finally) get a bit settled into the new house and can (finally) find a few spare moments to start blogging again. A new house means lots of space for some really great projects and I have hit the ground running. I've got a few great decor ideas tried (with a few failures) lined up for posts in the coming weeks.
My latest project and find is this really unique thrifted-barn-shutter-turned-statement-piece! I'm pretty proud of this one; it was easier than I thought to make and it looks f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s. This would go great in a space that needs some verticality, such as a small wall. When we moved in, we found that there were a few random areas where there were outlets high on the wall (in the US, this is pretty uncommon). I thought I needed to take advantage, or cover it so I chose both. If you spent any time looking for unique or interesting pieces can easily cost a minimum of $300!!! Absurd, I know. Not only is this piece unique, but the whole thing only cost $100!
Tutorial after the break.

| The rustic, weathered look adds interest to any wall. We plan on eventually painting this wall a lime-washed yellow, making the shutter pop even more. |
