Take your pick!

10 Best DIY Ideas for Repurposing Old Shutters

Home Decor

Make a beautiful home decor item with a simple coat of paint and stencils. You can even go further with decoupaging on fabric scraps or paper.

Jewelry Organizer

Too much jewelry laying around? Reuse old ornament hooks, and hang your jewelry in a pretty, easily organizable layout. You can even use this for scarves or similar items.

Shelf Conversion

Another useful project is this easy shelf conversion. It’s easy to do, and attractive.

Tip: Want to use it in the kitchen? For even better dish organizing, use the shutter slats to keep your plates upright.

Shutter Chalkboard

Forget stashing a notebook by the phone or fridge—a bit of scrap wood and a coat of chalkboard paint turns an ordinary shutter into a gorgeous solution for jotting down thoughts.

DIY Cork Board

You can also add a bit of corkboard and some pushpins to tack up notes or important appointment cards.

Tilt-Out Trash Can

Hide that unsightly mess with this quaint tilt-out trash can cabinet that uses a shutter for a door. It hides both the can and contains icky odors.

DIY Display

Display your family keepsakes and portraits in a creative manner. Keep the frames color-coordinated to highlight the photographs.

TIP: For a personalized centerpiece, stencil on a phrase that means something special to your family, or use your initials.
