Headboard Shutter

New to the DIY scene? Hey, we’ve all been there. Lots of these projects can seem really intimidating for the beginner. If that strikes a chord with you, then this could be a great project to get you started—especially if you like a vintage farmhouse feel, and find yourself longing for an excuse to get a set of those gorgeous old shutters you keep seeing at the antique mall.

This project is so easy to complete in a couple of hours, that you’ll gain some real confidence in your DIY skills. Once you’ve got the perfect set of shutters, all you need to do is sand them, and paint them in the color of your choice. From there, you can distress them, apply a glossy finish, or just leave them plain. Then simply mount them behind your bed, and you’ve just completed your first DIY project.
