It's Time To Update

With the home updating that we've been doing lately, it's given me a chance to do some deep cleaning at the same time. Certain rooms have been cleaned from top to bottom and I've done some rearranging as well. I'm the type that once a nail goes into a wall, it's there to stay. I don't move furniture around alot or change out pictures with the seasons so this has given me the opportunity to move things around and change things up a bit.

I've always had a welcome type sign near our back door that goes into the garage but I saw the cutest frames with keys inside of them and thought they would look good there instead. I was really drawn to these two frames. I hemmed and hawed at the store but finally just bought them and I'm so glad I did.


I hung them and liked them immediately but thought they needed just a little something extra to dress them up...


You can never go wrong with ribbon! Of course, hubby thinks it's to foo foo. I'll leave the ribbon there for a week and see if it grows on him (although, regardless, the ribbon will probably stay if you know what I mean!)

Do you like to foo foo things up with ribbon too?

I think the ribbon looks great. Black checked ribbon is very classy looking. Now if the ribbon was pink I might say it was a bit much. The antique keys are beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my site. I will definately be changing out the plates for the holidays! Hugs, Loretta

I vote Yes on the ribbon--very cute. Sometimes, if I want to minimize the "foo foo" effect, I make a bow with one loop and two tails. I love the framed keys! I have some in my kitchen.

Donna said...

Your key pictures look great, Linda. I like the ribbon you used.

I try not to get too foo foo in decorating, but a little ribbon is always good.

Hugs,
Donna

Aw, what the heck do husbands know when it comes to decorating anyway, right?!
I think the ribbon finishes it off perfectly.

I think the foo foo adds a lot. I say keep 'em.

I've had fun catching up with you tonight. Thanks for all of your visits while I was on my trip. We stayed so busy that my computer time was taken up with doing a post each day and downloading my photos. It sure feels good to be home and able to blog again.

Hugs!
Kat

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Remember my story about how I asked my hubby if he liked the new light fixture --cause not like it really mattered, was going to get it anyway. The light gets here this weekend, finally.
