I've always had a couple of hooks in the wall, right by the door, for keys. For me, it's the only thing that guarantees that I don't forget them and lock myself out. I decided to "pretty up" the key area with a painted and collaged wood canvas.
I wrapped the design around the sides of the canvas.
I tried to keep the coloring fairly neutral and the styling very distressed and aged.
The hooks at the bottom of the canvas are simply picture hooks from the hardware store.
Perfect for keys and easy to hammer into the wood canvas! (The alphabet stamps are ones that I carved!)
I made this canvas especially for my keys, but I'm pretty sure you could do this with an existing canvas. Just hammer the hooks into the wooden frame and hang it on the wall! Easey peasey artful living!
Thanks for stopping by!

great piece! I did the same thing for my keys a couple years ago too – so much better than a key hanger bought at the store right?!

Great idea! I have always had one of those by my door because I used to always be losing them. I never thought to make a key holder myself! Wow! Thanks for the inspiration, as always.

I really like how this came out. Definitely something that I think would sell in a etsy shop (just saying).

This is awesome! I swear by my key hook thingy by the door, too. Mine is a folk art looking wooden house shape with small pegs (commercially made, probably in China) that perhaps I could Lisa-i-fy! Thanks for the inspiration!

Love the look for your keys, not so bright to have someone else think I know where to steal her keys. I have a key rack one of my kids made, don’t dare replace it.
I just got a order from paper wishes with odds and ends of items, and I got another one of your stencils, so fun. In their cat it doesn’t say who’s stencile you are getting, this is twice I have gotten one of yours. I must have good taste !!

Wow, these are so pretty! That’s a good way to make sure you won’t ever forget your keys. But sometimes, it’s not just about forgetting your keys. There are times you just can’t help but lose your keys at the most unexpected times. And then you get locked out of the house just right when you don’t expect to. The best way to make sure you never get locked out of your house is to have a keyless door lock instead. Just consider which locksmith service to use so you can have it installed and your door lock is just as secure and more convenient than having keys to use.
