I Shutter to Think..,

I found this one shutter in an alley, in a trash can and my inner trash digger said "I want that.". It already had a great deep green paint finish so I decided to do a dry brushing technique to accent it. To do that you simply take a dry brush and just dab on some paint and brush it onto the wood. Your not wanting to cover the whole project, just brush in the color here and there. It gives a great layered look and I love the turquoise color which resembles patina on metal. I ended up using the shutter as a decoration on my front porch and I love it. Total cost is probably about $.50 (for a few ounces of paint).
