Re-purposing a Shutter

D and I decided to hit some antique shops this past weekend in Olathe.  We've both been wanting to "work on" something and decided to go for it!  We found ourselves a couple projects:  The first being a shutter and the second is on old Barn window from 1952 (that I will blog in the next week).  The shutter is finished so thought I'd share.

AFTER:

 

Yes, we turned it into our mail organizer.

BEFORE:

 

 

Doing some sanding! 

Used a little primer!

After a little paint we've got the finished product!

 We did some antiquing to the shutter!
