Larissa from Prodigal Pieces turned a few old shutters into the most charming DIY cabinet you’ve ever seen.

This is one of those sweet upcycles that makes you want to hit every salvage yard in town for shutters!

She paired a couple of louvered shutters with scrap wood and a little creativity to build a fully functional cabinet.

The best part?

It’s wall-mounted, so it saves space while still adding tons of character to your home.

She used chalk paint in a soft blue shade and distressed it just enough to bring out all the vintage charm.

Larissa also added reclaimed knobs and gave the inside a two-tone paint treatment that makes the whole thing feel custom and intentional.

I seriously love how she always works with what she has on hand—this project cost her next to nothing.
