i am loving all the vintage keys that are in right now, not only in fashion necklaces, but also used as accessories in the home. i love restoration hardware, but i have to be honest, i was a little shocked to see how expensive this artwork was:
a framed key for $199!? that’s a little crazy! therefore i am providing a simple DIY solution.
1. get a vintage key at a local antique shop or flea market (i purchased one not too long ago at a flea market for around $1)
2. buy a frame (i found one at michael’s with a “3D” matte, so there is room for the key to fit in between the glass), a black matte, and some white linen to put behind the key
3. frame the key and hang on the wall. voilà! an inexpensive alternative, for under $20!
group them together for a dramatic impact, like pictured here behind the desk:
