Welcome once again to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day of the week we all get together to celebrate getting stuff done. No matter if you've been coming around for quite a while or this is your first time, everyone is welcome to share their projects, big or small. Just link up at the bottom of this post.
Rooms are never really “done” around here. Like nevah-evah. And that’s ok – I like tinkering with my home. Remember those ruffled curtains? Even though I love them, they’re just a tad too girly for Mr. SCC – and I can understand that. He does live with a house full of girls. Silly, giggly, girls. He let me have my ruffles, even though they weren’t really his “thing.”
I do the decorating around here – he’ll tell you that. He is such a sweet fella that he builds whatever pops into my little head and then moves on to the next project. This time, the project I had in mind was a compromise without him even knowing it :) 
After the bloggy breakfast and Goodwill trip, ChaCha and I, with husbands in tow (well, they were the drivers), went to the ReStore. I bought a shutter for $4 – and wasn’t even sure what I would do with it at the time. When I got home I wondered if it would fit our bathroom window – and guess what? It did!
Mr. SCC added a little frame to the window trim, to pull the shutter out from the window so that the louvers would open and close, then used a couple of hinges to put it up with. Luckily I had some pre-painted pieces that were left over from the bathroom, so I didn’t even have to break out the brush!
It may not be as girly, but it definitely sings to my cottage loving heart!
OH! Before you run off, make sure to enter the $50 DaySpring Giveaway!

The shutter looks great!! How awesome is that that it fit! Thankfully my hubby lets me do all the decorating too. I don't know what I would do if he were one of those guys that had to be involved in the decor in the house!

ReplyDeleteThe shutter looks great- maybe you could send me the curtain (hehe)
ReplyDeleteGina, I love the shutters, I hardly ever go to the restore, but I have got to put it on my list!!! I linked up, thank you so much for hosting, even when I am not posting I love to see all of the creative projects and get ideas. I bet I am the only link today that turned a gun rack into a paint rack LOL!

The shutter looks so clean and bright and airy in there, Gina! I loved the ruffles, too (what girly-girl wouldn't???), but the shutter is very beachy looking! Nice work!

I'm not too much a girly-girl, I think I like the shutter better.
ReplyDeleteHi Gina! The shutter looks great, and it's nice have considered hubby's feelings about the ruffles. Thanks for hosting. This party is always inspirational.
ReplyDeleteOoo, I like the shutter!! I liked the curtain, too. My husband has his say about my decorating as well, but he usually makes sense: except when he wanted his deer head in the living room. Really, now! :S Thanks for hosting the party! Always sooo fun!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina! Love the shutter...and what a fabulous buy! Thanks for hosting!...hugs...Debbie

Wow! Four dollars, really?! The shutters look great (although I l-o-v-e the ruffle curtains) and i can totally relate to a hubby who's too rugged for frill everywhere. :)
ReplyDeleteNo! Not the ruffly curtains! The shutter looks great but I LOVED those curtains. Any chance they will be going in your Etsy shop??
ReplyDeleteLOVE-ing the ruffles! Thank you once again for hosting, have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteWOW! love the ruffles and the shutter! I've been searching highs and lows in my local town for 2nd hand shutter to use it just like you did but no luck so far!! I'm like you, my husband doesnt really like girly things and sometimes says NO whenever I propose something to add to my house, at least your husband is helping you eventhough it's not his thing! lucky!! sometimes I just did it without his consent and he just have to put up with me hahaha...Thanks for sharing and hosting the great event! x

That looks really great! I love white shutters, they just make me all smiley! lol! I can't have sutters in our house, but i got a slatted radiator cabinet instead. Not quite the same though... :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm compiling a list of link partes on my blog and wondered if you would like to add this one?

I like the idea of attaching the shutter to a frame! I had several sets of shutters, but I made them into display shelves. Maybe I'll remember to share them next week on Transformation Thursday! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna miss that ruffled curtain... :)
ReplyDeleteTransformation Thursday!! Love it!! I'm a day late....but in the middle of an AWESOME transformation I have been wanting to do for a year! Hubby is working on it, right now. Tomorrow, it'll be finished up. I DID take a before photo (for my own blog post), and will be taking an after. So I'll be back by this coming Thursday, to link up! So excited to share it! And to have found your blog! : ) (I'm subscribed now!)
