Awesome! It sound like you have the perfect plan. I love tall ceilings. 🙂 (and old homes)

Love this, it is the perfect thing for our bathroom storage needs. We moved to an older home with high ceilings and last year we found some tall shutter to fill our a corner in our bathroom. Thanks for the great idea!!!

I love the knob, especially if the cabinet is to be in a bedroom or living room. For a pantry, maybe a simple wood one would be more in tune with the space?

In reply to Janette.

Yes, I agree with both of you. This is such a great idea, however it’s a very old project. But, I decided it was worth sharing again. I sure hope Jan still has this after all these years. 🙂

I love this you are so clever, I think Jan is correct, a nice wood knob would suit it better, just my opinion.xx

I love cabinet. Knob? Not so much. It definitely needs a knob that is not so daunting. Great job on cabinet, hubby. Wish my husband was handy. That would be me.

Thanks so much for your comment! How wonderful that you have the perfect shutters for this project. Yes, you need to do pocket holes. It makes building so much easier AND very sturdy. 🙂

Hi! WOW! Love that cupboard so much…as soon as I saw it I started eyeing my family room for a place to put my “future” shutter cupboard! Hahaha! I mean, there’s probably about 20 projects ahead of this one, but I already have the four shutters that I scored for free thanks to Craigslist, they were supposed to be for a headboard project for my brother, but he and his new bride changed their minds, so now the shutters are MINE to do as I please! Not sure about the two-tone paint, to me, it makes the trim look like it’s separate from the shutters, if you paint it all the same color and distress it, it would look like it belongs on a Pottery Barn catalog…but I would definitely keep that knob, it’s gorgeous, and gives the whole piece an antiquated look. I have to learn how to do those pocket holes of yours, I’m new to wood shop, but thank you so much for sharing this with us!!

Great idea with the shutters, it turned out great.
Not a fan of the two tone at all. I probably would have gone with a distressed white.
