You may remember my framed vintage keys from my entryway post I did a while back. I made these framed vintage keys with three small black shadow boxes & added three vintage keys from Pottery Barn. Well, I always loved them, but something always bothered me about them. I hated how the keys kind of blended into the black background. So, yesterday I added some fun Wallpaper samples to the back.. & I Love how they turned out…
The keys before…
The keys got lost in the black background…
After…
Love the Results
Thanks for stopping by to see this quick little before & after. I am so glad that I did this.. I am even thinking about painting the frames, but that’s for another day. Hope you all are having a great weekend! Don’t forget to stop by Liz Marie Blog Facebook Page to share your DIY projects & more!!

ok- loving the new vintage key background, but I'm DYING over the dresser. Did you do the refinish yourself? What color is that? I'm in LOVE!
So much better! The dresser is fabulous…my favorite hue these days. What a lovely way to welcome your guests.
Much better! And I LOVE that dresser!
Great idea, Liz Marie! They really pop now! I did my PB keys in one long frame with a linen background, but I'm looking to change them up a bit. I think a shadowbox frame might be a good idea for a few of them.
Visiting from Weekend Wrap Up! : )
