Salvaged Louver Doors

Here's another idea of what you can do with
discarded louvered closet doors.
 I picked these up on one of our neighborhood bulk trash days. 
I had a few in the garage.
 I've used them HERE in the kitchen.
This week I thought I could use them to make shutter-like screen divider panels for the patio.
 Before the screen/louvered doors were added.
 Left side before.
They would also help to hide 
the hurricane panels a bit.
Right side before.
 Right side after.
I didn't do anything to them except clean them up.
 I still had a few cobalt blue glass knobs.
We added one to each set.
I think they give the patio area more of a porch feel.
 Lucy needs a closer look. Lucky thinks they're ok. 
Plus I love the look of shutters.
(Click HERE and HERE to see more of my shutter love.)
  A little Key West look for free.
 Larry loved this project because it involved no cutting,
no painting, no trip to Home Depot,
 no time and no money. 
And as a  bonus, it cleared some stuff out of our garage. 
We got it MAY'd in no time!

Have A Great Day!

  11. I love garden ideas, we spend so much time outside but summers are hot in Sydney so we need shady nooks to sit in your looks cozy but also cool.

  12. It was about 9 pm last night, I was coming home from dinner --( today was garbage day)--- I screeched to a halt after I had spotted 4 double louvered closet doors laying on the ground behind the trash can. I am 75 years old, I put the top down on the convertible and Hauled those suckers in the back( I didnt even tear the seats--all by myself!!!1 lol I got home and started unloading them and trying to hide them somewhere and my 83=2 year old husband came out and started in hollering about bringing more junk in the garage, WELL the patio is getting a new look tomorrow and I am thrilled AND he will be showing our friends what WE did LOL LOL
