This was a quick and easy project and I love the way it turned out!
I have been drooling over this picture on my Pinterest Boards for quite some time. I tracked it down to the original source via Clarendon Lane and have found myself going back to it again and again.
Now on to My Spin of the Pinterest Pin:
My friend found some shutters at a garage sale months ago for $2.50 and had big plans to make them into a headboard for her lake house. Well, as time passed and she found another headboard that she fell in love with she decided to gift the shutters to me.
She had even started to paint them and stopped midway.
No worries, when I saw them I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them…paint them RED!
My favorite color red right now is Rust-oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover
SATIN COLONIAL RED.
At first I was going to take them apart and flank my mirror like in the inspiration photo.
I then decided to just leave them as is and prop them up against our wall behind my console table..
I am pleased with how they turned out and love the flow of red in my entry way.

Tami – Love the color, love the placement, love e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. about those shutters. Your inspiration was wonderful, but I definitely like your version best, with the shutters in back and the mirror in front. Cuteness! Stopping by from Marty's. Jane @Bluebird1959

Tami, I love the shutters!!! They look beautiful in red behind the dark color of the console table. Very, very pretty! You have done an excellent job with these! I know it looks gorgeous when you open your front door and you see the red outside and indoors.
ADORABLE!!! I would love to find some shutters and use them in my home. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Tami, I love what you did with the shutters. I use a lot of red in my decor also. I also love those lamps. Thanks for sharing.

That looks super Tami! I love the bold statement they make. So nice to see you join in on the party again. Could you add my link? Perhaps I missed it:) Thanks.
Very nice Tami and I'm your newest follower on Scribbles and Swirls!!!

WOW'S!!!…I love this,the red is perfect!And so happy to see you use the shutters like this.FANTASTIC!Im visiting from Debbiedoo.
Tami,
I am loving your shutters! The entryway looks kust beautiful with the red and black combo. That Satin Colonial Red is awesome – I did some chairs in that color and it is a spectular shade. I may have to get some again and soon. I am inspired!
I would love if you stopped by my linky party happening now to link up!

Tami, your shutters look wonderful and so special! That color of red looks very close to the Williamsburg Palace Arms Red that we have on our shutters and "The Red Cabinet" on our screened porch. Love your ideas…all of them! Helen
Love that red! Thank you for sharing your lovely entry hall project at Potpourri Friday at 2805!
Love this!!! It looks beautiful! I have some shutters I've been meaning to do something with and you have definitely inspired me! Found you from the Linky party, would love it if you visited me too!
Red is always a wow color … they look Great !!! 🙂
Francine
Excellent choice to keep them as is. I thought the first photo was the one you were drooling over! Yours turned out better in my opinion! LOVE THEM!!!
Love the shutters! Especially since red is my favorite color!
Love the shutters! I found this while trying to figure out if I should put a light coat of spray poly on some (really) old distressed shutters I found in our barn before I bring them in to hang (around two windows). There are a bunch of newer ones out there as well that I am going to try to use like you did…thanks!
I love, love,love the red!!!!! Such a great job, Tami 🙂
Featured you!
Come by and have a look!

I actually like your entry way better than the original!!
Love this Tammy! I have some out in the garage that I was thinking of doing the same thing in our foyer. Thanx for partying at my place!
Love it, great job! XO ~Liz
You are being featured at tonights Link and Greet party at CountryMommaCooks…..have a wonderful
weekend : )
How BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the deep red color and all the decor details! Just lovely!
That looks fantastic! So gorgeous. Leaving them whole was so smart because you can shift them around later if desired. Smart cookie 😉
Beautiful! I love both yours and the inspiration, fantastic job! I'm now a follower!
I love this! I was just trying to figure out how to dress up a console in a guest room. This may do the trick! Thanks! I found you via Debbie Doos Pinterest Party!
I pinned this for you. Found you through Debbie Doos. These are too cute and I love, love the red.
Gorgeous! Saw this featured over at Fox Hollow Cottage. Great job, Tami!!! Beautiful!
Love this and the pop of red. Looks great!
Love this, Tami! Seriously love this! Is that enough loves yet?
Hello,
