Shutters

These shutters have been with me for a few years now. Bought them for $12 each at some craft store in Texas. I had painted them this minty color for the Little Diva's room. I hung them up and tied the diaper bag to one. It looked pretty cute. Since she no longer has a room since the move. I thought I would use them again. So I set them up on my nightstands for a while. Just trying to figure out if I was or wasn't gonna use them. Finally I got an idea and set out for some paint. I had a color in mind but when I got to the store it looked alot different. So I bought two sample colors. Still didn't know which color I wanted to use. So I painted some of each color on each shutter. After a day I decided just to go with the original color I had gone for. Why not? If it didn't work I could just paint over it.

The color looks a little light in the picture. That's probably because of my camerae and it's nighttime when I took the picture. The paint color and technique are from here.
*Am loving the color!!
