Hi all!
I got these chippy shutters for $14 at a neighbor’s garage sale last month (yes it’s garage sale season here already). They are very very, extremely chippy and unfortunately forest green (not in my color palette). So I scraped the loose paint off and mix up a color that is more to my liking.

I have one done and thought I’d show it to you. I’m going to hang them on the outside of the door leading into the screened porch.
****Update on my Colonial Pipeline situation******
They are sending a stump grinding crew out next week to take care of all the stumps they left. It will make it much easier for me to replant. A small victory but at least I feel they are doing something that actually helps me.
We’ve already purchased some plants to replace the one’s they chopped down and have a plan of what we’re going to do.
I’ve been so busy planting and painting that by the time I sit down I just don’t have the energy to blog. Hopefully things will slow down a bit now and I’ll be able to spend some time here!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I’m glad you are having some forward motion on your utility easement trouble. Love the new color of your chippy shutter. I’m having the same problem with keeping up with blogging.

Love those shutters, Manuela, and the new color you gave them. They will look great near your screened porch. I have some painting coming up myself. I’ve decided to start in the laundry room/garage entrance/pantry area. It is an area that encompasses a lot. I’ve narrowed it down to three colors and I think I will start taking things down to do some spackling next week. I’m hoping the lighter color I choose will brighten the area up a bit as there is no windows on this side of our condo.

LIke all the updates!!!!! Late bloomers just couldn’t wait til next season! 😉 YOU are one busy gal. I have finally finished sorting through all of my “leftover” stuff from the move, and have it ALL stashed in my van to go to the consignment and to Goodwill. > except for my framed art pieces. They will be the next trip. It feels GOOD!!! Hugs to you for a great weekend Manuela! HIgh 30’s are the lows this weekend and strong winds….argh…still waiting to get my potted plants for the porches….TOO cold still in Iowa. Maybe next week…it will be MAY!!! yay.

I just love shutters and I like the color you choose for yours. You really have been busy! Make sure you enjoy your beautiful flowers!

Glad “they” are doing something about the stumps. A shame “they” have not given you an reimbursement on plant replacement, but guess something is better than nothing.
Like the color you chose for the shutters much better! You have been a busy lady.
Enjoy your weekend.

Excellent news Manuela! I’ve got a couple of big shutters that need to be painted and installed on our shed. As soon as I have a minute it’ll get done. July maybe?? Mimi

Those shutters are amazing!!
Debbie says
Loving the shutters! I just so happen to be on the prowl for some so I can try to make a room dividing screen. That particular green is the very one that I’ve been trying to get away from. It’s all over the exterior of this place. Yikes.
And I’m very glad about the grinding. That is at least SOME help.
Still think it was a rotten thing to happen.

I have chippy shutters in my house and I love them!
