Key hanger before and after

Earlier today, you might've seen this key, which I posted in my Thrifty Thursday post.


I got it for a mere 50 cents. But I hated the gold. I like gold jewelry, but i hate gold *anything* in my house. So it HAD to go!

And that chain HAD to go too! Too much visual clutter for nothing!

Here it is now:





And in context, in my entryway:



Oooh I loooove it now, it's so purty! :)


(please excuse the wall paint that needs touch-ups! That's what happens with 3 wild kids in the house!)
ANother one for the Met Monday party :)

I'm looking at the key again ... and I just love it! Thanks for the info ... am going to go get me some!

I have a confession to make: I saw you background and fell in love with it. You see, I've always been a night owl so I collect owls and ...shhh! I even have a small owl tattoo! So of course I had to have this background!! It's perfect for me!

I love this whole display! I want to think that's part of a sheet of scrapbook paper in the frame, but at the same time the frame looks like it might be too big for that... ?

I had no idea you were into thrifting & junking until I read your post on another blog! I'll be adding you to Google Reader. :)

I have a key like this and haven't been able to figure out why I don't use it. it's the GOLD - I didn't think about painting it until I saw yours. And the chain - you're right, that has to go too. Thanks for the idea!
