Like, way more reading than is actually necessary to slap some paint on a board. I did a lot of reading about how to paint shutters beforehand. This is what prevented me from loving my home for most of my life! I t took years of messes and a major decluttering purge for me to stop allowing anything in or on my home that I wasn’t completely obsessed with. I don’t know if you ever do anything like this, but I was just trying to make something work because it “should,” even though it wasn’t me. O.b.s.e.s.s.e.d.Īnd that made me realize… I hate red shutters. To this day, I can’t sit in the passenger seat of a car and not spend the entire drive looking at houses and their shutters. Then I just obsessed over shutters in general. So all that time, I daydreamed about the house having shutters and being less ugly. I was a little busy with my 3 month old and a barely-turned-2 year old and, you know, keeping them fed and preventing the older one from killing the baby or set the house on fire. Quick and easy.īut of course, we didn’t actually get the shutters onto our house before winter hit. So I found some red shutters the right size on craigslist and bought them last October. My mom had suggested that with the color of our roof and siding, red might be a good accent color. It took me forever to even figure out how I could make it look pretty at all ( Update: Here is what I decided to do!), but I always knew I wanted to add and paint vinyl shutters and window boxes. I am so thankful for my house–but I hate the front exterior.
