Before..Old Shutters / After...New Fun Doors

My client found these two old shutters on a shopping trip . They were not a matching pair but were in very good shape and unique. I decided we could paint them a bright color and make them the doors to the storage space under the stairwell. This is the Mudroom....Oops.. I mean Sand Room.... so it worked out as a great detail with the floor and blackboard and the storage bench. .

Crabaritaville Shutter As A Twin Headboard

 

This is a twin headboard made from the shutter we call ..Crabaritaville.They are sold on the store as shutters but make fun and happy headboards. They could be attached on the wall or with real hinges for the authentic look or as a custom order made into a headboard.( They can even be ordered as a door for a pantry or for a cabinet) The shutter is painted in the cotttage collection color "melon" ( as shown on the store) but they would be great in any of the JANE COSLICK COLORS ..

And Again!!!! Shutters for Cabinet Doors

This is the kitchen with the sink facing a wall with no view. BIG NO NO!!!! If your house is on a slab and it can't be changed ...a little "thinking outside the box" works great.

Tried again!!!

I styled a large house in a day( so the clients would fall in love with their house since nothing is selling is) so I was very tired. to wound up to sleep so I blogged...or tried to at least..SO SORRY...I am trying again. Thanks to all of you.

Shutters for a Pantry Door

In my unconventional kitchen, I made a pantry from a pair of shutters. I also made the kitchen cabinet doors out of two smaller shutters. I had purchased 10 pair of yummy blue grey shutters from a great store called Seventh Heaven in the city. ( Savannah) I had used them on several different projects over several months and had two pair left that were two different sizes. I was working on my boring and weird new house so I decided I would try something a little different....
I was plesantly surprised by the finished product. The smaller cabinets doors are on the previous post..SORRY

Art class.. The Floor at Fish Camp Cottage

How great is this. One of my favorite cottages thru the eyes of the oh-so-talented students of Anna's art class. I LOVE It!!!!! ( Fish Camp Cottage photo of the kitichen and the yellow and white tile floor is on my website. )

Update on The Teacher!

Here is Anna's class room and a few photos I found on our camera. With not much budget , Anna created wonderful energy with her giant paint brushes right outside of her classroom.

This is the beginning of Anna Speir's (my assistant) project her with 5th graders in Art. ( september 11th blog)This is an example of her prototype for the class. "Looks like a Jane Coslick Cottage" with it's ZEBRA shutters!

She has created a project on two Georgia Artist! Beverly Buchanan(Athen's Georgia) and me "Jane Coslick" cottages and Shacks! This is just an update about the teacher and her students. I believe in art and I can tell Anna is as great an art teacher as she is a photographer and designer.
