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.

Today’s Lagniappe: Mama’s Cherry Cream Meringue Pie
Mama came up with this recipe that is like one her mother made for her when she was growing up.
1 9 in. baked pie shell
Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbs flour
3 egg yolks
1 cup milk
1 cup cherry juice + milk to make 1 cup
1cup maraschino cherries drained and chopped
1/2 tsp. almond extract.
–
Mix sugar, flour, 1 cup cherry juice/milk mixture in micro-wave proof mixing bowl.
Cook in micro-wave 1 1/2 minutes; remove and stir; cook for 1 1/2 minutes more, stir and add beaten egg yolks and 1 cup milk.
cook for 1 minute in micro-wave, stir until smooth and thick (may need to be cooked for another minute. or two (cook in 1 minute increments so that it doesn’t get too thick.)
Remove from micro-wave and add chopped cherries 2 tbs. butter 1/2 tsp almond extract;
let set until butter is melted then mix well and pour into baked pie shell.
Top with meringue made from the 3 egg whites, 1/8th tsp cream of tartar and 1/4 cup sugar whipped until stiff peaks form.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else experiencing problems with your blog. It appears like some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before. Cheers

Currently it seems like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Finding the time and actual effort to generate a really good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t seem to get nearly anything done.

May I simply just say what a relief to uncover an individual who truly understands what they’re talking about on the net. You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people should check this out and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.

I’ve been staring at a pair of old louvered shutters in my garage for months, and your friend Darlene’s thrift store find is exactly the push I needed. The idea of using them as corner cabinets is genius—way more practical than my current plan of just propping them up to hide cables like you mentioned. I’m terrible at visualizing these projects, so I’ve been using an ai image combiner ai image combiner to mock up different placements before I commit to cutting anything. Have you decided on a corner yet, or are you still leaning them casually?

Great blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Cheers!
