Shutter Love!

So Kyle and I have been wanting to put shutters up on the front windows...ya know to give it a little more personality...just like us. So off to Lowes we went! Yep, we found some shutters and better yet they were on closeout! WooHoo!! We were feeling good about it even more...I am pretty proud of our "thrify" project!

Next was deciding what color we wanted to paint these beauties...decision was unanimous - Dark Forest Green! I love this color - especiall for the shutters. It will blend with the landscape so perfectly! Can't wait to see them up! (This was 3 coats later...)

So I wanted to take a picture before I hung these gems....this is where the shutters are going - the front two windows!

Ta DA! Doesn't it make such a huge difference?! Oh I LOVE LOVE IT! Kyle and Mitch did a great job hanging them for me. :)

I definately love how the green just ties everything together in the yard now. It adds extra color for being the winter with my Crape Myrtle in front being dormant...but now I can't wait til SPRING!! My grass will be more green, the trees with have leafs on them, and things will start BLOOMIN'!!

I love how my home and yard have come together exactly how Kyle and I have wanted. It is perfect for us! We are so blessed that we were able to do all of this on our own with so much help from family and friends - we couldn't be more proud of all that we have accomplished with "our home makeover" project! I LOVE MY HOME!
