"window of my soul"

So many of us love the old shutters, and there are a  lot of wonderful ideas in the blogging world.  I wanted to do something a little different and I also wanted to add photo's of family members to my sewing and computer room.  After great thought, this came up!
I will share the items to make this photo or bulletin board, it might just inspire you to do something similar?

Supplies

Vintage Shutters

Core board

2 canvas for painting

material

wall decals

stain

By turning over the canvas (I purchased at Super Walmart) it looked
like a window frame to me?
So, I stained the wood trim
and cut the core board to fit inside. First I
covered the core board with a dark blue material with white stars
 (from my quilt stash)
and taped to
the back.  Added Elmer's Glue and put inside the canvas back.

The wall decals were from the Dollar Store
and worked out well, they really stay on to my amazement,  I was sure they would
fall off!   Can you imagine for a $1.00!

I did rough up the shutters a bit with a hammer and distressed lightly with
vintage green and some of the stain.
There is a lot of possibility to this DIY, at first I wanted the inside window to
give the impression it had 4 window panes, 4 separate canvas, but as I did the project this is how it
worked out due to the height of my shutters.
Finished dimensions are 36 1/2 inches Wide  and 36 inches Tall


Now, when I am in my Sewing room, everyone is close by!

This truly is the
"Window of my Soul"
