A Red Shutter for Books

For the past several months, I have been on the hunt for an old shutter~

I didn't really care about the size, and I assumed I was going to need to do some work to it...

...but a few weeks ago, I found this gem at a yard sale.

 Yes, this is the purpose I had in mind...I wanted it to hold books.

 The gal had already painted it the exact color I wanted, and she had even added the hanging hardware I needed. This gem hangs at the perfect height for little ones, and I'm excited about changing out the books for various themes, seasons, etc!

If I had done this project myself, I probably would've hung the hardware in a different spot and turned the shutter around - so the bindings of the books would be stinking out - but I can always change that. Plus, for now, I kind of like it just like this.
