Key Frame

 

This key frame is the perfect spot to hang your keys when you come in the door so you know exactly where they are when you want to head out the door. And it looks great! 

I started with a basic frame. This one I made from old painted wood, and it is 5.5 inches by 7 inches. It's rustic looking, not perfectly square, but I like it. 

You can buy or make a similar one to fit your space. 

Line the back of the frame with your choice of paper, this is a piece of scrap booking paper that I cut to size. I glued the paper to the backing and then attached it to the frame. 

I found these antique looking keys at the craft store, I bought them a long time ago but I knew I would find a "need" for them some day. Using a hotglue gun, I attached the keys to the paper backing. 

Screw the cup hooks in to the bottom of the frame.

 Now hang this in your entryway and you are done! No more lost keys!

Another Farm Table

This is the story of me building my farm table from barn wood. If you want to see the one Jess did, see her post here: Rustic Farm Table

It was great for me because Jess did all the original groundwork to learn about staining and waxing a table and had the great advice for me on this second attempt at building a table.

I think it's so neat that we're able to use the old wood from the barn that was on the farm. I'm hoping that we've made these tables strong enough that they'll be passed down for more people to enjoy.

This is a long story with lots of photos, so read on...
