Updated Shutters with Some Age

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

Kinda excited for tonight, we're going to see The Great and Powerful Oz.

The Wizard of Oz is my ALL time favorite movie so I've been counting down the days till Oz starts

YAY!!!!

Anywhoo, back to today's post. I wanted to share a small update that has made a HUGE difference

in our living room. I tried to find a picture of these shutters before and I could only find this one

I bought 3 of them last year at a garage sale for $2. They were unfinished pine

 I originally stained them Dark Walnut then decided to spray paint them with 

Krylon's Bahama Sea where they've been the past couple months

Nice but they just didn't seem right

I wanted a more layered/aged look. Kinda like they might be found somewhere in Key West

 So I started a coat of flat Behr's oops paint over the Bahama Sea

After it dried I added a coat of flat Behr's Indiscreet. The same color from my dresser you can see in

the background which you can see it's story here

Next came some distressing. I wanted to make sure the different blues come through

I then glazed it using my stain (Minwax Dark Walnut) & baby oil technique

which I found from Down to Earth Style - here

I'm loving the finished look

I think they look like something I would find at some old barn or

Key West
