I think I found it.
(I would have paid $10 if they had cleaned off the cobwebs and Daddy Long Leg carcasses for me.)
I primed it with a gray primer and then lightly sprayed with Krylon Brushed Metallic paint in Satin Nickel. It has a little bit of sheen to it, but not too much.
I'm certainly not done with the mantel, but this big shutter is a start.

I know you don't love your mantel but you sure do work with it well :)
I'm with Kelli. We know your dislike for it but everytime I see it, it looks fabulous so at least you know how to work with it. =)
I love it! Very "fall" ish !!!
It looks much better Viv!!
Love the shutter! Are you able to paint the wood on your fireplace white? Did I already ask you that at some point! :)
I have to say your problem wood wall does provide the opportunity for us all to see how you work within limitations and still make it look really fantastic...every time!! :)
I love the shutters a lot!! What a super idea!! Just as with the chameleon chandelier, I can't wait to see how this piece gets changed up for different seasons!! :)
Just so you know, every time I go thrifting I look for a chandelier like yours!! I absolutely adore what you do with yours!!! :):):)
Ooooh!! I love humongo. Awesome.
That adds a great touch to your mantle! I'm so exited to see you happy with your nemesis :)
Those are perfect! They really make a huge difference. They brighten it up and add balance. Great start! Lisa~
Lookin good. The shutters are great!
I know you aren't a big fan of your mantle, but you always find a way to make it look amazing! I really love the shutters!
I love the shutters! I'm so jealous! They look great up there! I keep meaning to go to our local Habitat store but it has weird hours and it's tough. :/
Love it! Have a hard time finding old shutters around here, I've looked...a lot. I adore those Krylon Satin Metallic paints, have used them for several things. I don't have an asymmetrical mantle, but the fireplace does sit off center in my room with a similar slant in vaulted ceiling. I hung a huge mirror (gifted to me when my parents moved) and sometimes find ways to hang other things in front of it (not easy because the frame is so deep). Anyway, very nice :)
The shutters look great! And a cease-fire sounds like a very good idea. :)
I like it!!
I love the new look, but then I've never had an issue with it like you have.
I think I would have paid a lot more for those to have not only been cleaned but painted too!
I like the asymmetrical wall; great work with the shutters!

Looks good! Those shutters were quite the find. The mantel is the perfect place for them.
I like it! It isn't crazy busy. Simple & clean. :-)
Love what you did! Shutters make a great statement. Very homey!
