Mr. Husband was like "D, what in the heck are you going to do with oversized keys?!?" And I was like "Mr. Husband... I'm going to build a huge shadow box frame with molding and fabric." And before he could give me his typical "you're crazy" look, I was off to Home Depot and Home Fabrics :)
I came back with some super thin plywood stuff, molding, and some yellow fabric I had had my eye on for some time, but I just could never figure out what to do with it... until now!
Here's the thing... I don't claim to ever know what I'm doing, because most of the time I'm doing it for the first time. But I always give myself a pat on the back (more like a jolt when I really impress myself) when stuff turns out like this:
Here's a closer look at the fabric...
And for the first time, I'm linking up to some blog parties! Yay! I never thought I would get to this point!!
That is beautiful! I didn't realize the scale of the keys until I saw the shot of the shadow box over the bed...I would have loved finding those as well :) You did them well. Stopping by from the CSI project.

I could have sworn I posted a comment here... lol...
ReplyDeleteLove the keys - VERY NICE JOB!
I was hoping, if not too topic secret, you could provide the name of the place where you scored these awesome keys. I am local, and we just bought (yet to close on) a large house... I have 3700 sq to fill!
yowza, i was not expecting those keys to be so giant, but i am glad they are! they really make a great impact and focal point above the bed. good job.
