A "Key" Idea

GW had a 44% off sale for Super Bowl weekend and I bought 2 frames for $2.44.
I have a small blank wall and these keys - can you see where I'm going with this?....

A little bit of black spray paint....
And a quick arrangement for my blank wall:

I'm joining Thrifty Thursday at Tales from Bloggeritaville and Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch...hop on over to see some great ideas people have to share.

  1. Ok, I passed up two keys are St. Vinney's and now I could kick myself! Love what you did with the keys and frames.

  10. Hey Patti! Love this look, and a what a great bargain!?!? Thanks for stopping by the blog. I am not a collector (lanterns) but have recently fell in love with a circa lighting fixture designed by Suzanne Kasler. Very beautiful. So, I went out searching for copies and just happened upon the one in my living room. ;)
