Window Shutter...

 ... So the window shutter is complete, for now. I don't know if you have noticed at all, but I am constantly making changes when it comes to home decor. I am never satisfied. It's sad, when I get done with something I love it & the next day I am thinking of new ideas for the project. Anyways I made these fun little twine wreaths yesterday to add to my Window Shutter {as seen in my previous post} So this is the window shutter as of now....

The wreaths were very simple to make. Just a little twine & a few Styrofoam circle wreaths from Michael's & I was all set. I thought about adding something to the wreaths, but I decided to keep them as simple as possible to show off the shutter & all it's distressed glory.

I really did like the original color of the window shutter, but I wanted to personalize it myself, so I made it a creamy white, no distressing needed because of the already distressed condition of the wood.

I added this knob to the shudder, doesn't it look like it was meant for it? It was the first knob I used from the huge collection I scored while I was in Michigan {Check out the collection I got for only 20 dollars HERE}

The wreaths are attached with some simple black string. I am debating whether or not to add some ribbon just for embellishment. For now it remains to  look like it's "floating" with out ribbon.

See at the top where the shutter was damaged? Since this shutter is an antique & is very old, the condition was not so good. I am in the process of fixing the top piece.

Do you think I should add some ribbon to the wreaths to attatch them to the shutter? What are your thoughts?  I hope you are all having an amazing weekend. My weekend has been very relaxing so far. Spent the day downtown with the puppies and my husband, it's so beautiful here in NC! What kind of DIY projects are you working on right now??
