Decision-Making 101
Today was a decision-making day. The question: which shutters to use with the long windows that will be in the front?
You know how it is when you have several items to try out to see how they look and fit. It has to "speak" to you. It has to feel and look right.
So it went here.
Here are Gigi's shutter choices: the shorter shutters on left or the white pair. What do you think?
They looked okay, but still not-quite-right. They were both too short and rather plain.
Then - Eureka! Gigi said she looked through her own stash, along with some of the stuff she'd inherited from her mother - and she found it!
Here were a few small pieces of decorative trim, probably cut for something else. It definitely added something to the shutter design, and filled in those spaces. It adds a kind of European flair, doesn't it?
The moral: As we all know: never throw anything away. And look in that stash or scraps box. You never know what you'll find.
Be sure to stop by again. There's a whole lotta cuttin' going on! Coming: stairs and more. See you Tuesday!
