Purchased these indoor shutters back in September or October for $4.00 I think at a yard sale. Think I ended up buying 5 cans of spray paint from Ollies at $1.99 per can. Notice in the top left hand corner, Cheekie has to help. 😉Had some old trim in the basement that I cut into strips and spray pained as well. The shutters were too short for the windows. BeforeAfter. I said in the title frustration. Oh yes. Nothing about this project was simple. Not even the spray painting process. I think I ran out of spray paint and had to buy 2 more cans. Sadly Ollies went up in price to $2.29 for the same paint. The original hinges I bought were wrong. When to Wal-Mart to buy more. WRONG! Got the right kind at Lowes but the only color that had was black. WRONG. When through my craft supplies to paint them. I was scrapping the bottle to get enough gold to make to work. One of the original strips I cut and painted was too short. Had to cut and paint another one. The strip between the windows isn’t wood. Had to buy glue. The hinges were $5.00 for a two (2) pack. And the glue was $7.99. Lowes had cheaper glue. I’ve used Gorilla glue in the past and it’s good stuff. Not counting the time it took to spray paint them, it took about 5 hours. 🫣
