Hi beautiful lady,would you care to say a prayer for my son that has Autism,he has a bad toothache and i’ve tried today to get him into see a dentist with no luck,will try again in the morning,i had a bad scare last night,i was bleeding from around my stoma where i had the colostomy surgery last Nov.,i called the surgeon and she called me back,i think it was just a tear from being constipated,my daughter hurt my heart,i needed someone to talk to and she wouldn’t call me,hurts my heart…Hope y’all had a great weekend,Cammy is just the sweetest..Love y’all!
Merina and Shane, those shutters take my breath away You completed what seems to me an almost impossible and very complicated task. What great teachers you are! For anyone on a hard road, don’t despair and give up. We all have unknown or undeveloped strengths and abilities within ourselves. I believe that we can open ourselves up to them and work our way out of whatever needs to change for the better. We can take heart from these two courageous, loving, and resourceful human beings. Personally, I am grateful that I have “met” them and their beautiful family and for the positive difference they have made in my life.
This takes me back to when we remodeled our own Mobile Mansion years ago. It was much smaller than yours, and we weren’t exactly keen on drapes. I wanted wooden blinds with wooden valances to hide any of the hardware up top. I didn’t like the cheap thin “valances” that came with the blinds. I had forgotten all about how my husband had to frame out our windows too! It’s funny, the things you forget. I liked the blinds because they looked neat and low profile. Now I see that shutters could have been another way to go I’m impressed with Shane’s workmanship! The guy proves over and over that he can get-er-done!
Y’all work so well together!!! My husband and I built a toy box and I thought we would divorce before we were through. We argued over every screw that was put in. We’ve been married 41 years. We don’t build things together anymore. Loved your article!! I’m the project person in the family now. SUGGESTION: Before I start a project, I put all the boards outside on 2 sawhorses and paint them with a roller before I cut anything. When the project is finished, I just do some touch up painting. So much easier.
The shutters look awesome! What a great job. I took the easy way out on mine. They were on the side of the road during trash pickup. Lol. I just had to paint them. But anyway I think people under estimate the impact that architectural details in a home give. It elevates everything else you do. Love it.
They look Fantastic! You and Shane did a wonderful job…such dedication. I have them in two rooms of our home and we had to special order them due to the size of our windows…our home is over a 100 years old and I will say the shutters were one of our best purchases we ever made. They are still in place today and I love them as much today and I did the first day we put them up. Good luck on the next window/shutter. I can’t imagine making them myself my hat is off to y’all.
I’ve been wanting plantation shutters for the longest, but I think you have convinced me that I should buy them and have them professionally installed. I have potential anger issues, and my husband definitely is prone to becoming angry under pressure. You guys are the greatest, I seriously could not imagine anyone being mean to Shane….. they apparently haven’t seen his precious grocery hauls 🤣🤣🤣. Love you guys!!
Love how it looks, Shane has the patience of Job!🤣 on another note, I’m just curious have you noticed prices on groceries & meat rising in your area? Here in Louisiana, prices steadily going up, starting to see more empty shelves, limits coming back….your thoughts on stocking up on pantry staples and/or investing in a freezer? I’m older, retired & live alone & I think about young families like yours with children. I’m starting to buy a few extra things each week. Gonna look into a small freezer. Blessings to you
Merina and Shane, I see two people that the Lord has blessed and gifted the talent of Loveing others and showing it. The Lord has blessed Shane with carpentry and Merina You with the talent of decorating and helping others. I thank God for letting me be part of your days! TFS! judyxx (72 yrs. old – young, lol. ) Stay true!
I’ll be the 1st to say this was definitely a “stud” not a “dud” 😉. Amazing! …I admire both of you SO much, but there’s no way my husband & I would make any kind of sweet memories doing projects like you do, we’d kill each other for sure (married 30 yrs) 😬. You guys are brilliantly talented, real & entertaining, not surprised at all that you are at 40,000, congrats! 😍
You guys did an amazing job! They are beautiful.❤ I love how you always uplift Shane and praise him. Such a God honoring and husband honor thing. True testimony and showing God in your life. Also no one is perfect except God. I slip with a cuss every now and then. But it is a process and a constent work😉
I cant believe u guys made those. Part of the reason I bought my current home was it had plantation shutters throughout. However, after some years the louvers weren’t staying open, and had to look up how to tighten with the side screws to adjust and replace the magnets. U guys did a great job and looks great!❤
Another great job! I about fell out laughing at Shane being all dramatic 🤣. For all yall out there jumping on Shane because you thought he said a bad word and were offended. Go now, go straight into your house, close all your windows and doors and make sure you turn off your TVs off and never leave your home again, because there’s a chance you may hear one again. Listen, no ones perfect! We love you guys! #Taternationhasyourback
I liked this article before I even saw it. I just knew it was going to blow my mind. Girl you and Shane did not disappoint. The fact that you come up with plans for your home, Shane draws them out then you both execute it. I’m just blown away every time. Just when I think I love one more then the other you do this. Can I just say I’m no longer going to love just one. I love everything you both have done. ❤️❤️🙌🙌
I’m so excited to see this! I’ve spent most of today dumping out my closet and I was ruthless with getting rid of stuff I didn’t need. Some of it was really nice stuff that has been given to me and now I am going to donate it to charity so someone else can be happy with it. Seeing your positive mind set has done wonders for me and I was at a point in my life where I needed it. Bless you and Shane and those perfectly precious babies of yours. I’m getting a cold Diet DP and taking a break long enough to watch this article and then I will finish my closet.❤️❤️❤️
Wowsers Colton your castle is fab 👏. I’m absolutely blown away by the shutter blinds, they have turned out absolutely beautiful, I love them. They are all the rage over here in the UK (well up north where I live they are) and they are extremely expensive. You guys are so talented! Lots of love and stay safe, Lisa from the UK 💖
Congratulations for hitting 40k!!🎉🎉 I started following you when I inherited my grandmas old 1990 trailer and now I’m turning my mobile home into a mobile mansion now!! I wished we could chat and I could rack your brain on some ideas for this trailer house! I absolutely adore you and your family!♥️♥️
I’m a new subscriber. I watched one of your articles and got hooked. You are truly an inspiration. I can see why God inspired you to create your website. You inspire me in many ways. You guys have a beautiful and fun marriage. I pray God continues to bless your family. Love ya from your new friend in Florida 🥰
I have a sun room and you just gave me a huge idea! There’s like 8 windows in there though🤣😩 y’all did an amazing job and I’m proud of y’all especially with only doing projects for a year! Shane should be proud of himself and so should you! Yes I think a sprayer would work best for shutters! Awesome article!
I just love what you are doing with your home. I am planning on doing the board & batten this weekend to one of my walls & wanted to know if you crafted the lantern sconces? I have a lot of them just sitting around & they would go great on this wall. Thank you for sharing your many adventures & look forward to seeing more. God bless you & your beautiful family
I live in a dabble wide dis like the windows as well, some day I will get new windows,I love my shutters ask Jesus he will help you with getting it done. Love how you guy’s play with your children. Please keep my family in your prayers, God will provide thanks I know that I’ve perusal him to provide himself too
I love how 2 kids look like u and two look like Shane. Cammy looks like a mini Shane. How precious is he,Cammy not Shane. Bahahaha. His world is pure and sweet. Bless his heart. I could just hear the old man now ” what’s that triangle thing? I need one. Yeah no way! My tim the tool man. Nope no way. He came home with a nail gun and drill and I was like why do u have these. Oh a customer didnt have money so ge traded me these tools! NO THIS IS NOT LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE! TRADING A PIE FOR SERVICE! Never should he have a tool in his hand. He has a tool kit and when he gets it I start looking for a repair man! I had brand new hard wood floors. Real wood and he went into the bathroom to fix the toilet from running and I’m standing in my kitchen and I see him run out the front door. Yeah I was ankle deep in water! He busted the pipe . He didnt even need to touch a pipe! Well it took 20 mins to dig out the over grown water main and 10 to find the shovel!!! I just cried my floors have buckled!!!! The man that did the floors was my granddaughters daddy and he passed away so yeah it’s a mess! So I have beautiful hard wood buckled floors in spots! U are very Blessed girl ! LoL u have to laugh in this life or u would be crying all the time.
Happy to know you’re doing a bedroom makeover soon. You deserve a lovely bedroom to relax in. Also consider getting your family laundry pile out of your bedroom. You don’t need to see that while trying to rest and relax. I know you want your laundry area kept neat and clear, so I wonder if a laundry sorter cart in each bathroom would work. Just a thought. You’re so talented. You will come up with something great.
You two together are hilarious!! I love perusal you guys doing projects together… It turned out beautiful, not that I thought it wouldn’t!! Shane saying “flip” in slooowwww motion….😂🤣😂🤣 I can’t say I blame him though. I loved Colton’s narrative on his castle and hammer… GREAT job!! Have a great evening… Love you, FRIEND!! ❤

And she’s 280lbs!! Love y’all…we need to do a Collab some day ❤️❤️❤️
22:02 Marina. “Flat head, Screw head,Pop Head…” Whaaaaat? Pop Head? LOL 😂! 22:13 Shane whispers “new-new…new-new…” LOL 😂😆😂 Yes,this shi* cracks my shi* up! The commentary from Shane and your newly developed vocabulary makes me laugh and smile to no end.

Hello Merina, I was recommended your website last week and have been going down your playlist and i just love you and your family. Congratulations on getting past 40,000. When i started perusal your articles you were at 38,000 and something. You are so awesome. I love your sweatshirt. Do you mind me asking where you got it? Sending love from Minnesota.
Is there anything y’all can’t build?! Please make the 4 hour drive, and come visit me! My mobile home needs a face lift that only Merina can give it LOL! All jokes aside, you both do amazing wood work, and should really look into making a business with it! Sending love to the whole family from Kentucky
My God you are a breath of fresh air on here. I cannot believe you tackled these yourselves! Married here for 34 years with five kids and we have weathered some MAJOR storms. But I think making these shutters together would do the trick! Divorce papers would be forth coming about half-way through this project LOVE this. Blessings to you and yours!
Love the article I’ve literally been binge perusal your articles for days now! I feel like we are besties! Keep up the great work I’m sure glad Jesus told you to make a YouTube website!! Sending love from Arizona! Also gotta say love Shane and what he brings to the website. & the review from your son was awesome! 🥔 nation!
I’ve never understood why anything to do with windows is so expensive! I want bamboo blinds, but to get the size I need for 4 windows would be well over $600! Also, I personally have owned two paint sprayers- one a cheap one from harbor freight for I think $30 and one that was on clearance for $80 and I returned the $80 one. It was terrible in comparison.
Great job on those shutters!! Man, that looks like a challenging project. Really cool though! We don’t have any blinds in our home, only curtains, but I want some for the front windows facing the street. We have too many curtains going on in our house lol. I don’t think I can DIY it though…I’m gonna think on it 😄
Hello I recently just start following you and have actually not been on here because my 1yr old puppy (my heart) has been hit by a car and i had to bury her…i been crying my heart out and trying to get myself together..I really like the way you and your husband work together🤣and your articles (binge perusal a little) keeps my mind off things ..I love when you wear your hair down (looks beautiful) and you should do it more often…ty for all the D.I.Y. s
Love it! My place would drive you crazy! I’m pattern crazy I love mixing patterns and prints. As long as the color scheme is similar and complimentary of one another with a mix of neutrals are or a neutral background I find it works really well in concept. But my home is a mix of Eclectic, meets Grandma, meets a tiny bit of farmhouse, meets cottage comfort. Side note I know a work bench may be out of budget but a foldable table like from Walmart or Lowes will work as well and make it more stable a surface for projects.
Marina, You have such great vision! The shutters look amazing, and as painstaking as they were to construct, what a transformation to the window/room.. You and Shane’s hard work paid off, the window looks beautiful as it seems to add such ambiance to the room. P.S. Shane seems to have the patience of a saint in order to have so diligently worked on putting them together, Kudos, job well done!
I bought my paint sprayer at Harbor Freight, the Avanti AV100, and it has changed they way I paint – so, so much easier to paint pieces of furniture or projects without flat surfaces and angles. It was quite a bit less than the Wagner brand they sell at other retailers, but for basic around the house jobs, it’s been a game changer. The shutters look incredible!
I found your website by accident I was hooked…I watch many influencers tgey have the beautiful houses false eyelashes and 80 thousand dollar suv’s….which is great but you are so humble and thankful for everything u have and very relatable ….your home is becoming so beautiful…u are talented and kind so glad I found u…and Shane is precious.
You guys are a great team. Your house is so stylish, very clever ideas and excellent execution all your projects look wonderful, very professional. You were thinking of making cornices, they would be cute covered with a little batting and then use the buffalo plaid fabric. Whatever you decide I’m sure it will look great. Its fun to see how you get along so well. Don’t ever lose your sense of humor its a life and marriage saver. Thanks for sharing. Be well.
Amazing…. They are absolutely beautiful. I think @taternation out did himself. I think she deserves some extra taters this week and extra kisses. Merina the two of you together are phenomenal. Cammie is starting to enjoy the camera…..adorable, I love his hair he looks so much like his daddy. What the flip…. He he have a great week.
EVERYTHING y’all touch is GOLDEN!!! The love that surrounds you two while working is like no other!!! Y’all breaking into a song or dance or playing with one of the kids is so beautiful and inspiring!!! God Bless you both and congrats on another successful and amazing project of pure genius!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is absolutely amazing! I am seriously inspired to do this. My husband and I talked about putting shutter blinds like this in our mobile home, and perusal your hubby do this, we’ll all I can say is that now we know that it’s possible to do and not spend tons of money when we can obviously do it ourselves!! Thank you so much for making this article!
For the love please by that man a saw horse. He can make one himself. Every time I see him cutting something just teeter tottering on the front porch a cringe a little inside. Looks like you would get good use out of it. If you buy retail they usually fold and you could store them under your porch which I would suggest putting some lattice Good with the door so that you can put stuff under there lock it up and then you can have more stuff but it be protected.
The shutters look amazing, well done both of you. I think they would look so good in the children’s bedrooms that way you wouldn’t have trouble with the curtain poles. I just found your website last weekend and have really enjoyed perusal all your articles I love all your diy’s and how positive you are sending love and prayers from my family to your’s xxx
I am so impressed with how well you worked together and completed this very complicated project. Shane did an amazing job building your plantation shutters. I’m sure you are going to love having them. I have them in my dining room, den and bedrooms. I love them. Our our white, and they look so good from the outside and really make the inside so bright and cheery.. I love bright and light. Not a dark or closed in person. I just love your articles and am so proud of the way you have overcome so much and are making such a beautiful life together for your family. I always can’t wait for your next article!
I like the plantation shutters. I hope you do all the open space with them even though I can imagine what a pain it would be. You could also add faux transom windows above the windows and your front door to make the entire space look larger and more like a mansion. We’ve done several homes with faux transom windows (never a mobile home though I don’t see why it couldn’t be done) and it really looks nice. People think they’re real and they’re really quite easy and inexpensive to make. Much easier and cheaper than the plantation shutters, lol.
I am asking you to please pray for my beautiful friend Jackie who is newly married. She had a stunning wedding but a truly horrendous experience with her mother, who was determined to sabotage her special day. She ended up in a puff of tulle crying and telling me that her mother hadn’t even told her she looked pretty. Her mom has a drinking problem that does not excuse her behavior. Please help me pray that as a new wife, with a lot of counseling and tons of unconditional love from mom2.0 (me), she will learn to embrace happiness and light and try to set some healthy boundaries with her family. I have known and loved this awesome girl since she was born. She played in a playpen with my daughter, as her mother and I were close friends. I will try to help her mother get clean and sober and get some needed counseling herself. I have sincere doubts about her mother being able to accept help or counseling at this time. Please pray for my bonus daughter.
Well worth the end result. Still loved the curtains thoe. Now on to the kitchen windows they all have to match now. You 2 work great togather. You make a beautiful couple. You were ment for each other. Keep it up a lot of marriage don’t work these days. God bless you and your family. You all are so 😊
I could talk to you for hours on your projects. You are absolutely right the memories are everything. If you think you were in love with those shutters now you were going to love the memories 1000 times more my late husband and I put down tongue and groove floor in our new home literally spilling blood sweat and tears. I’m 72 years old. He is gone now. And I hang on tightly to the left of the tears and the blood that was billed. You have your heart and soul in the right place. Please be safe and God bless you and yours
