A fun little project using a vintage shutter. The table is approximately 48 inches long, 20 inches wide and 18 inches high. The shutter is very vintage. I scraped off the loose paint and built a frame around the shutter. Added some legs. The paint is layered, white over charcoal and then sanded. A final coat of stain to provide an even aged look all over. That’s it- wala. Nice on the porch on the patio or inside for summer or Shabby Chic/French country decor.

Nice work, rivergirl. There is a nice little shop right around the corner from my office that would love to sell a table such as this.

Well Thanks everyone. Sheila, I have 2 one day shows coming up, so I hope it sells. I have so little storage room and this one is 4 feet long. :0. It is probably too big to list on etsy (shipping expense..) But if it doesn’t sell at the shows I will have to try etsy. I wish I lived someplace where I could consign some stuff year round. ho hum. Christine- I bet your daughter will want one of these so you better start hunting for a shutter! ;)

Oh I hope you are right David. :) But I am never that lucky. LOL
Soda- I hope you are thinking that you would like to build one of these! And if you do, I want to see it. :)

I love it! I have a thing for shutters, anyway. I grew up on the Connecticut side of Long Island Sound, and this is very beachy. It wouldn’t cost much for the happy new owners to get a piece of glass cut for the top, with clear silicone bumpers…I bet it will sell instantly!

Glad to hear it Juniper! She will love it and it is an easy build. The finish is the most important part. :)
Thanks Mads- I like repurposing too!
