So here’s the scene around here lately..

I’m absolutely thrilled with how these curtains have helped to pull the room together!So… what did you do this weekend?Me, I didn’t do much.

Only… HAD A BABY!.Meet our little Jack!.Born Friday, December 6th at 12:39 pm.

He was 8lbs 4oz, and 19 inches long.We really had about the easiest, best experience at the hospital that we could have hoped for.

Now we’re all home and doing great, other than being incredibly sleep-deprived from this kid’s constant appetite!.

So I just wanted to pop in really quick today and give you the news!.We cut it down into 5″ strips.

You can do any size you like, we just went with a size that would cover up our existing shutters.We made our shutters 3 boards wide and then put one board across the top and the bottom for a classic look.. Then we clamped them all together and secured it all with a few screws.. We cut a couple of little measury pieces to put up against the top and bottom cross pieces so we could make sure they were the same distance from the ends on both sides.

We didn’t want any shifting to happen while we were adding the screws!.We ended up with two perfect shutters.. Next we just painted them grey and hung them by screwing them straight into the existing shutters.. Bam!
