As I've said before...owning a home brings lot's o little projects that seem to never end. I'm always dreaming up little ways to try to make our home the little cottage I've always wanted...a little tricky when you live smack dab in the middle of the city in a 1947 home that isn't so "cottagy" (is that even a word?) At any rate, some of you may have noticed the house color has changed...it used to be yellow and we went with a light chocolate brown with black accents. Of course no cottage is complete without shutters. Being the frugal shopper I am, I was not about to pay 35$/pr. for some vinyl plastic paintable shutters so my wonderful hubby volunteered (ok he was a bit coerced) to build them for me. He is a keeper! I think they turned out adorably... and that's really all that matters since I'm the one who has to live here :-) I even got in on the fun, I painted the boards and I even painted our old wicker chairs from the natural color to black...only four more windows to go!
