Don;’t hang anything. Just treat the shutters as a back drop for some tall chunky objet d’art. Candlesticks, vases, etc…even canvases, antique frames, resting against the shutters.

Whatever you do finally put up, I hope you let us see it... ok?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe some sconces that are lightweight and could be wired through the slats? Or just go with a willow wreath.

I would give my kids some small-ish canvases and some orange *and maybe blue* paint and let them have fun. Instant modern art;)

I could see it as a backdrop for a collection of pillar candles in various sizes? I think it's awesome, even on it's own!

A "C" is practically a wreath, I bet you could make a C shaped wreath fabulous. :nods:

Twig wreath! Stick a different colored bow/ribbon on there for each holiday. Simple and versatile!

I like this wreath that is also a touch of red but can be used at different times of the year. http://www.etsy.com/listing/62768322/yarn-wreath-felt-handmade-door. Same site QueenMeadows suggested.
The other thing I would do is put some of the neat rustic metal hanging candle lanterns up there.

A bunch of damask and chunky frames painted different colors and hung in abstract ways.

A distressed picture canvas of each of your kids in b&w. Tute on my blog.

I put up a lovely green garland one year for Christmas over my TV hutch and it never came down. It just looked so empty without it. I say leave it there. It doesn't have tinsel or bows that just scream "Christmas". And if you feel crafty, it comes down just as easy later.

Oooh, the shutters look so good with that red wreath…what about one of those infamous giant coffee filter wreaths spray painted red? I wonder if you could actually spray paint those or if they would fizzle out? hmmmm…now I want to spray paint one just to see, haha!

Make a yarn wreath with neutral yarn and then you can change out flowers or other decorations on it as you want… that way it can change with your mood or season.

I think you could do something along the lines of this from Show and Tell: http://lh6.ggpht.com/_gEVELxgsGZI/S6QX2PIl8xI/AAAAAAAAAUY/6jcWMwkx3A8/s1600-h/laundryroom%2005833.jpg

Everyone has such fantastic ideas! I think all of these sound great…
My idea would be to have the kiddos help you paint clothespins and then hang ribbon or string in front of the shutters… Use the painted clothespins to hang pictures, quotes, a monogrammed letter, hearts for Valentines day or whatever you want. Easy to change as the seasons keep coming…. super cheap, too….
Good luck! Can't wait to see what you choose….
