Designer MacGyver: 6 Old Shutter Crafts That Are Surprisingly Chic

Shutters keep prying eyes out of your home, but if you want all eyes on your decor, shutters can come in handy there, too. Old shutters are a surprisingly versatile craft material and you can repurpose them without much effort. These crafts are just a few ways you can turn old shutters into something unexpected and chic.

If you like a headboard with height, Layla Palmer’s clever use of old shutter doors hereshould appeal to you. The coastal cottage vibe is perfect for quaint country havens and sunny beach houses alike. Find all the DIY instructions here.

If your ceilings are a touch lower or you’re working with hurricane shutters, this pretty headboard from DIY Network’s Blog Cabin 2013 is a fabulous alternative look. The white and blue palette really emphasizes the headboard’s easy breezy feel.

Got plastic shutters instead of wooden ones? No problem! This raised bed planter, also from DIY Network, makes great use of a wooden pallet and old plastic shutters. (If you’re not sure what to plant inside, I’m sure HGTVGardens has some ideas to get you started.)

This shutter’s length and shape makes it a natural fit for a console table surface. It’s a subtle way to add interest to your living room and looks great piled with books, plants and decorative objects. Make your own with Layla Palmer’s tutorial.

Curb paper clutter in a pleasing way with this idea from Holly Marsh. Hang an old shutter next to your door and use the slats to corral the mail. Clothespins and hooks keep pictures, flyers, coupons and keys within arms reach when you’re flying out the door.

Designer Kathleen Perkins placed beautifully-carved shutters in a stairwell to stand in for plain old railing. These shutters may have a different look (they’re Balinese), but I can picture this working with whatever shutter style you may have on hand.

Picking the Sherwin-Williams color of the year is no small feat. Here I share my insights and process with you.

Here’s a huge admission: I inwardly cringe just a little when someone enthusiastically asks “What’s going to be the ‘hot’ color next year?”

I get asked this question countless times throughout the year. I could give myriad answers, but it would take far more explanation than anyone would expect, much less want to listen to. Therefore, my typical response is: “Whatever color inspires you and makes you feel utterly satisfied is the hot color.” Luckily, that’s a completely true statement, if still a bit of a dodge on my part.

The “color of the year” for Sherwin-Williams has become a big deal: Each November, it’s a greatly anticipated announcement that garners a lot of media attention.

Don’t get me wrong. I absolutely love making this decision and I don’t take the responsibility lightly. In fact, I deliberate intensely over my choice because I want it to resonate and have lasting value. So I thought I’d share with you some of the reasoning and insights I bring to the decision-making process.

To begin with, I always look at the latest Sherwin-Williams colormix™forecast palettes, because exhaustive research, scrutiny and validation went into choosing those 38 colors. I then seek out the colors that are the storytellers and separate them from the hues that, although important to the overall picture, play more of a supporting role.

So what is a storyteller color? It’s a hue that evokes an emotion, depicts a mood, is emerging in new product rollouts and has endless possibilities. It’s a color that can be the hero in a space or set the stage for others to follow. It’s a color that’s being driven by our desires, our lifestyles, our mindsets and our inspirations. Personally, I must have complete conviction that the hue I choose for the color of the year has longstanding potential and appeal.

For these reasons and more, I selected Exclusive Plum (SW 6263) for 2014. We’re craving a complex, adult purple that’s both mystical and curious. A sophisticated hue that evokes elements of romance, drama and playfulness. Exclusive Plum has enough gray to ground it — to keep it from looking either too girlish or too overpowering — yet has a depth and saturation that can take it in many different directions.

Exclusive Plum can be paired with pale grays, whites and touches of cool metals for a sophisticated yet comfortable mood — perfect for a living room or bedroom.

Exclusive Plum is great mixed with the warmth of copper — a metal that’s trending heavily right now — for a palette that’s perfect in a rustic kitchen. Think copper pots and exposed plumbing fixtures. A color that represents aged copper nicely (and just happens to be January’s color of the month) is Antiquarian Brown (SW 0045).

For a masculine space, I envision Exclusive Plum paired with rich leather furniture, warm wood tones, and touches of rust and muted green. For a space with a more lively personality, mix it with bright tones like magenta, chartreuse and pumpkin, or set a regal mood by pairing it with jewel tones.

Consider this color with an open mind, explore and experiment to discover its endless potential, and then, perhaps, you’ll fall as passionately in love with it as I am. It may even become a staple hue in your design palette.

If you need a little more convincing of Exclusive Plum’s loveliness, check out my Pinterest board devoted exclusively to this Sherwin-Williams color of the year.
