This is a metal fence panel I used to keep my kids out of my flowers. ;) I have 6 panels and they are 32" tall x 24" wide.

Shutters I got off Craigslist. This is one half of a set of two.

This is one project I did with the other shutters. (I had two sets of shutters total) It's in my daughter's room.

This is the other shutter project in my oldest daughter's room. I wanted to put flowers in her flower boxes but she prefers her crayons & markers in them. :)

I am in need of ideas for two items I've been staring at for a while. I just KNOW there are some creative things I could do with them, but my brain is stuck. lol The black shutters originally came as four shutters and I've used two of them for projects in my daughters' rooms. Now the two remaining shutters I'd like to use to make something for me to enjoy. The fencing I thought I could attach together to make a trellis but I used zip ties and they wouldn't stay together. My husband thinks they would need to be welded to stay upright. Anyway, I'd love to hear what wonderful ideas you all might have before my husband gets frustrated with my "treasure" and throws them out!

I love your shutter projects in your daughters' rooms. Your daughter who likes to put crayons in the metal boxes definitely has a creative spirit too!

Take care,

DreaminBoutJunk writes: The fencing would make a beautiful one of a kind trellis, so i agree with your hubby on that one! I have seen some really nice headboards made fom shutters. Looks like they would match both you your childrens bedrooms.....or attach pegs for a place to hang jewelry. Have fun with your "treasures"! Posted: 2:14 pm on September 9th

(Learning to weld is on my bucket list ~ ha) I have some shutters too and not any idea on what to do with them so I will be watching your post for ideas :) Posted: 2:11 pm on September 9th

You could put legs on the shutters and make side tables or night stands. Thats all I can think of now. Good Luck!! Posted: 10:38 am on September 9th
