I had a dream of beautiful bright plantation shutters in our kitchen dining area.\u00a0 I quickly\u00a0 realized that dream was a little far fetched one I started looking into the pricing.\u00a0 Hot-dang!\u00a0 Those suckers are expensive!\u00a0\u00a0 Challenge Accepted!\"DIY<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"She<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows me, is fairly aware I am pretty\u00a0 dang stubborn.\u00a0 Once I had my heart set on plantation shutters,\u00a0 I WOULD figure out how to do it, within my budget.\u00a0 So, I hit up our local ReStore,\u00a0 I was able to find this set of plantation doors.\u00a0 They weren’t the right size, but for $20\u00a0 I could make them work! \"Plantation<\/p>\n

\u00a0 I started dismantling them by removing the tilt bar.\u00a0 I\u00a0 just used snips to cut the staple.<\/p>\n

\"Deconstructing \u00a0\u00a0 After I removed the tilt bar, I proceeded to remove the Louvers.\u00a0 I was surprised at how easily\u00a0 they\u00a0 popped out.\u00a0\u00a0 I also removed the “shutter pins”.\u00a0 I saved these, and would use them later. \"plantation\u00a0 Next I needed to create new frames for my plantation shutters.\u00a0 I cut “stiles” for the frame. \"Plantation<\/p>\n

\u00a0 I then drilled holes that would receive the shutter pins.<\/p>\n

\"plantation<\/p>\n

\u00a0I then placed all the shutter pins. \"Insert<\/p>\n

\u00a0I then cut down the louvers to fit my new frames.\u00a0 I intentionally cut down from both sides so that I could keep the original center staple in place.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"Plantation<\/p>\n

Once the louvers were cut to size I needed to drill the center hole that would receive the other side of the shutter pin.<\/p>\n

\"Plantation<\/p>\n

Next it was time to assemble. I partially assembled the frame using a\u00a0 Kreg Jig pocket holes.<\/p>\n

\"add<\/p>\n

I then proceeded to slide all the louvers in place. Once all the louvers were in place I finished securing the rails to the stiles.<\/p>\n

\"Attach<\/p>\n

\u00a0I then gave it a final paint job.<\/p>\n

\"www.sawdust2stitches.com<\/p>\n

I then needed to replace the original tilt rod. I\u00a0 first cut it down to size. \"tilt<\/p>\n

I had no clue\u00a0 how I was going to get these attached, but my husband is a genius and\u00a0 suggested\u00a0 simply\u00a0 buying the same size staples , and simply\u00a0 push them back in!<\/p>\n

\"Attaching<\/p>\n

…and that is just what I did. I placed a small amount of glue in the original holes, and then placed a staple through the center staple on the louver and then pushed through into the\u00a0 tilt bar.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Last thing necessary was adding hinges.\u00a0 My plantation shutters required two sets of hinges.\u00a0 One set to connect the two doors to each other and the other st to hang the shutter on the wall.\u00a0 As you can see in the above image,\u00a0 I mounted the shutters to frame work around the window. ( I have seen them inset, but this is just how I chose to do it.)<\/p>\n

… and that my friends is how I made custom cafe plantation shutters for less than $45 ! Whoot Whoot! \"diy\u00a0 \"DIY<\/p>\n

\u00a0Thanks for stopping by and take luck!<\/p>\n
