Old Louver Doors - Turned Shutter Decor

I generally get accused of holding onto something for nothing on a regular basis -  trust me, I hear it all the time from my sister Deanne. Why do you have that?  What will you use that for?  Get rid of it!  It's just clutter!  Or as my cousin Marian says "it's mish mash".  BUT, if ever I had a reason to hold onto something for nothing, this idea has definitely paid off and I'm getting praises from the haters out there (in my family that is!!)

I had these old louver sliding doors which were used on an old built in cupboard in our laundry.  They weren't very effective and I thought they were hideous!  My husband took them off the cupboard, and in his quest to clean up was going to throw them away until he heard one of my frequent sayings  "STOP!!!  I want to keep those".  He probably rolled his eyes and thought "WTF would she want to keep them for" .. but graciously set them aside.

Fast forward 12 months ... we were redecorating Aaliyah's room and I wanted to use them as a feature behind her side drawers.  Only problem was, Aaliyah only wanted one side drawer and her awesome revamped headboard became to main feature in her room.

Roll on Jayden's room.  Yip, two side drawers and a feature wall at that.  Perfect!!  These hideous brown doors were given a new coat of paint and now sit proudly behind her side drawers.  What do you think?

Jayden has a quite a few photo's she wants to display, so I purchased some small pegs that she can hang them on the shutters.  Maybe when that is finished, I'll put up another post.

Happy living peeps!!!
