So Your Shutters Have Are Getting Old And You Want To Trash Them? Stop It And Do This Instead. Brilliant!
I don’t know about you, but I do believe that an object should not be thrown away just because it can no long satisfy its primary purpose. When you hear about “primary purpose,” it means that there can be a “secondary purpose” for the object, meaning that it can still be useful in other ways.
That’s what I came to realize the moment I came across this lovely video. You see, I had some old shutters that no longer impressed me, so I planned on throwing them away and just forgetting about them. When I watched this, I had many other ideas. And you now what? I’m never even thinking about trashing anything again. Ever!
