Home Renovations... Homemade Shutters
My husband and I bought our house in February 2016 and enjoy making it into a wonderful home for our little family. The house was move in ready upon purchase, and we were excited to put some of our personal touches in it. The inside had minimal work that needed to be done, but the outside could use some basic changes and/or additions. One of the first things we looked into was shutters for our new house. The window on the front of our house is rather large and considered custom size (hence why there were not nor had been any record of shutters on the house) which was going to cost us more than we wanted to pay as we got a quote for roughly $400 for the one custom size window. So, my handy husband and I decided to take on the challenge and make our shutters!
My husband chose the wood and began cutting to size:
Next, I painted to the shutters green to tone down our orange brick:
Now my husband is getting the shutters in place:
One year later, and they still look fantastic! I love the outcome:
and Bentley made it in the picture!
It cost us $20 per window to do it ourselves! Pretty excited about the outcome and the savings!
Looks really great and professional, but I had no idea that green tones down orange. 😉 Nice to see Bently again.
Thanks for the complements!! Much appreciated! The goal was to tone down the orange brick and was hoping to do so with the shutters.
Good job! We also working with renovation now. We decided to hire builders because such process is quite difficult for common people.
Yeah, totally agree. Of course you can find a lot of information about landscape design in internet. There are many different articles with tips and tricks, but still such work is really difficult. So if you have such possibility, it will be better to use professional help. Like example take a look on Avanti Landscaping company works. I think such designs will appeal to everyone!
