last week during one of my 200 mile jaunts to rockland county, new york, i found myself poking around the orangetown historical museum and archives. my motive was to search out historical documents on the sites i was investigating for the dayjob, but instead found myself pleasantly surprised by the inspiring beauty i found instead. i treasure moments like these that shine some light into an otherwise monotonous day of work.
how amazing is this framed antique key canvas?! i'm so on the hunt for antique keys now :) maybe i'll even find some matching skeleton keys for all of the antique doors in our house. (we live in a 1919 craftsman bungalow- i can't part with the original door hardware but it would be nice to have a locking bathroom door every now and again!)

Oooh! I love that idea!! Too bad skeleton keys are hard to come by...
Love it!!! We too have old hardware on our bathroom door. My hubby put a chain lock on it as soon as Reece learned how to open the bathroom door. Funny thing is, I don't use it.
Ohhh, I love that. My daughter actually collects old keys. We're lucky to have had some in the family, because finding that at antique shops has proven pricey!
