My friend Darlene’s husband got these wonderful shutters for the Salvation Army Thrift Store.
They had a couple extra that they gave to me. What they did with them was such a good idea. They have a dining area with a window in the middle and then a corner on either side. They used the shutters to make corner cabinets.
Right now, I have the shutters “casually leaning” against the wall in the living area, hiding a plug and cable connection. Clever, no? Well, I’m not that impressed with my cleverness, or lack thereof. Maybe, I should try to find a corner to make a cabinet with the shutters.
Here are some ideas of ways to use salvage pieces for cabinets.
What would you do with salvaged shutters? Looking for ideas.

The shutters look great – so does the pie! Thanks for sharing. Lia

Hello,
I found some old shutters at a garage sale, they were painted a funky chartruese greenish color and both pairs had hinges on them, their were 4 total. At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do with them or if I even liked the color, but they were only marked $3 dollars for the whole works (what a steal), so I knew I couldn’t pass it by. I now have them in my sunny family room as a divider, they add some privacy where our computer desk sits and the T.V, sofa, wicker chairs, plants and other things are on the opposite side of the room a different area. They stand up great and the color even goes with all my wicker and the walls too 🙂 The pie looks great by the way.
Cheers,
Rene~
How about a room divider, you know the hinged kind. You could do it with 2 shutters. Another idea is to use them on the inside of the window, just as you would outside. I have seen that done, very effective.
I actually have old shutters just hanging on the wall above a console table. I had a huge bird cage that filled the middle between each shutter that sat on the console, I like them as an architectural piece. Take a look At Velvet and Linen’s dining room makeover, she did something similar with a beautiful tapestry hanging between her shutters. Good luck and enjoy the process,Kathysue
I have a table that is made from an old shutter, but I love the picture you have of the cabinet, that would be a wonderful use for those shutters! And that pie looks delish!
