I love upcycling old shutter doors into home decor! I usually find them at the Habit for Humanity Restore and periodically find them for free on Craigslist. The one I used for this piece was part of a set of three that I got off Craigslist for free. They needed to be free too. They were tore up! They had at least three layers of paint of a variety of colors, none seemingly done well. Because I wanted the stained wood look, I sanded off all of the paint. It can be done with chemical paint stripper but I really don’t like working with it. It ends up being such an icky gooey mess. Anyways, here is a short video / slides telling you how I made this piece.
