Garden Shutter Message Center

This project began with a shutter and a few supplies from my junk stash...

This shutter will hold memos, cards, or pictures to keep life organized in the kitchen, office, or entryway.
I painted the shutter with Miss Mustard Seed Milk paint in Curio and attached an old arched French garden sign to the top to resemble a roof.

A copper basket with a beautiful patina is attached at the bottom of the shutter.

I used Miss Mustard Seed Tough Coat to seal the milk paint and darken the chalky milk paint color.
When the sealer dried I heavily sanded the piece to remove some of the shine and to distress the slats.

I added DIY aged clothespins to the shutter slats to hold cards and memos .

Another fun shutter project!

Stop by and see the shelving
I made with the matching shutter.
