I have mentioned this before, but I enjoy finding new ways to reuse and repurpose old items in my home. I hate throwing things away before finding out if I can give it a makeover.

For today’s blog post, I am showing how I updated an old shutter with paint and flowers.

I’m in the process of decorating my house for Spring, so I made sure this project was bright and colorful.

Continue reading below for the instructions and inspiration.

Supplies:

• Vinyl Shutter
• Artificial Flowers
• Valspar® Color Radiance

Instructions:

• Clean any dirt or debris on the shutter.

• In a well-ventilated area, spray paint the shutter. I used about 2-3 coats of the paint.

The spray paint made by Valspar is pretty impressive. I could spray multiple coats in a shorter amount of time, and there wasn’t any excessive dripping.

• Add flowers to the shutter by pushing the stems through the panels.

• Continue arranging the flowers in a design of your choice.

• The shutter is now ready to display. You can add other decorations and embellishments to it or just leave it as is.

I love turning trash into treasure!
