More Travels

While Savannah was still at Girl's Camp, Scott took a trip to Wisconsin to do some golfing.  I have a bad habit of taking on extra projects when Scott is gone, and this time was no different.  I needed to refinish the shutters on the front of the house, so I thought I'd tackle it.  It ended up taking longer than I had expected (the entire day), but I think they turned out great.


First I took all the hardware and boards off, then I sanded everything smooth.  I tried to find a stain in the garage that would match well with the front door.  But, as I put it on, I decided it was too orange.  So then I wiped a darker stain over the top, which gave it a cool "texture" that I really liked.  

All finished.
