When we are not camping and at home on the weekends,
I am a house person!
I love piddling around the house.
From planting flowers to making wreaths and
just decorating, in general.
This past weekend was no different.
We planted flowers in the deck planters, put ferns in the front porch urns and added herbs to my herb gardens.
I had one problem...
we have this big blank wall on the back of my house that has been driving me crazy.
It was plain, boring, and empty.
It seemed heavy, if that makes any sense. 
You can see the deck from the road so I really have to be
careful what I put there.
I thought about hanging one of those big metal stars...
My house is very federal, so I thought that
would be a really good solution.
would be a really good solution.
But, I really want my house to be different from everyone else.
So, after 3 years of looking at an empty boring wall, my husband remembered these really big set of black shutters we had laying around....
Perfect!
I had to take the pictures so my baby girl
Sarah helped with the holding.
She wouldn't turn around since she didn't have her make up on. lol
I love them,
they just add the element that was missing!
I will be working on a wreath. I don't like that one...it needs some help.
