TUSCAN SHUTTER GARDEN

Filed Under: diy and craft, home and garden

 

I love shutters and Italy. So When I was creating this project I had those two inspiring thoughts in my mind. When you go to Tuscany there are lots of pots and shutters everywhere

Patios and balconies are always a space for a flower-pot in a Tuscan window. I collect antique shutters and re-do them. Here’s one of my 18th-century shutter which  I will create a Tuscan Shutter Garden.

 

SUPPLIES:

  1. Shutter
  2. Paint
  3. Wagner studio power sprayer
  4. Clay Pots
  5. Flowers
  6. Drill
  7. Mason bit

 

Tips:

When painting my old shutters, I sand it lightly to remove any debris.

I did not remove the dark paint because I wanted the edges to show some of the old paint.

 

 

STEP 1: Spray Paint The Shutter

Aim the Wagner Studio Pro Sprayer about 6 inches away for even spray. Because the shutter was a green color, I had to spray twice. Afterward, I sanded edges to show some of the aged wood.

 

Once the shutter is dried. I sprayed the flower pots with one quick coat. Let dry and sand them to give a distressed look.

 

STEP 2: Drill The Holes

 

Use a Mason bit in the drill. Drill on the top part of the pot and hold the drill firmly for about 5 minutes until the hole is formed. Don’t worry it won’t shatter. After the hole is drilled get the S hook and hang pots on the shutter.

 

 

STEP 3: Fill Pots with Flowers

 

 

Fill the pots with garden soil and add the plants.

 

 

Will you be making your own shutter garden any time soon? Check out the Wagner Studio Pro Paint Sprayer it’s an amazing high power sprayer with even coverage. If I had painted the shutter by hand it would have taken me a few days of painting. This was really quick! I took me less than 2 hours with dry time. I could not believe my eyes!

  4. Great garden project, Maria,
    Love how your shutter turned out! {Now I think you need a second one for elsewhere in the garden! ;)}
    I pinned several photos over to my Garden Projects board and on my Tailwind acct.

    I’ll have to look into picking up a Wagner spray painter in the near future, thanks!
    Barb 🙂

  12. This is so pretty Maria. The painted shutter is so quaint, I am on the hunt for a spray painter to do several outdoor projects as soon as it warms up. Thank you for the recommendation.

    PS. Does the Bee have a modelling agent, he does perfect work, the shot was perfect.

    Have a good week and thanks for the inspiration.

  17. I love how easy this is to make and love the look. My only concern is what’s to prevent this shutter from falling based on windy days? I have a thought in the back garden for placement that could prevent this from happening….Awesome!

    • If there is heavy wind, I would have to bring it in, we don’t have much wind here. A few days ago we actually had a windy day and the shutter was fine. Thanks Maria

  23. Loved your project and clear presentation. In Maine, there are lots of old shutters, but i don’t currently have a sheltered place to put one right now. Loved the picture of the bumblebee! Nice job!
