From Goodwill to Pottery Barn
A few months back I picked up this beauty at Goodwill. I was drawn to the little rope detail of the frame. It was only $5 and in great shape. I definitely hid it from the kids though - have you ever seen a scarier clown?
I'd forgotten I'd ordered these from Pottery Barn awhile ago. I can't remember what my original plan was for them. I thought about the Goodwill frame and decided there was probably a good way to put the two together.
I covered a self-adhesive foam board in linen. Popped out the clown paining and used a staple gun to attach the board. Then I simply hung the keys from some finish nails pushed right into the foam board. The project cost around $25 and makes a nice addition to our living room.

cute! I love old keys. That clown really was scary - what was the artist thinking?
ReplyDeleteI like it! I always check at the thrift stores to see if I can find any old keys. And the clown was definitely skeery. *shudder*
