I love this idea! I would have never thought of this. I love the splash of color.

I actually have a print of a sunflower on our mantle. It's from Big Lots. Shhhhh…don't tell anyone.

Very cute! Could also make an awesome headboard.

I almost wish I didn't already love what was over my mantle so I could do this!

I absolutely positively love that look. And I would do it in a heartbeat except my husband and I bought an expensive piece of art pre-kid. He wants that over the mantle because it makes his life feel right. I still need to spice it up though. I want shutters!

I love the way you describe the shutters as "flooding the builder beige walls with color."

That's exactly what they do! And the scale is so perfect for newer homes with vaulted ceilings.

That's such a cute idea. I may have to try that in the playroom. The walls are bright white and that would really add a punch of color!
