Re-purposed Vintage Door Hardware to Clock Shelf

This is my collection of salvage tongue and groove 4" planks/boards that I bought several years ago.
 Knowing I needed to start getting rid of stuff, I took a look at these boards and the huge collection of door locks and knobs and decided to see I could come up with.

First, we made a very simple weathered white shelf with three vintage hooks ... then a WELCOME sign out of the beautiful blue boards that I uncovered ... can be seen at Welcome Sign Rusty Wire Wreath

Pretty nice ... so we made another one as seen here  using some of the same type architectural salvage. 

Still had more boards to use and I wanted to make this one vertical instead of horizontal. 

I had seen this cute miniature clock shelf on Mamie Jane's and thought I would give it a try ... well, actually be a "copy-cat". 

We took some old door locks and the next board became this .... a narrow shelf some of my small, vintage clocks. You can see the keyhole and the square hole for the knob.


  You need the locks with the metal piece on the front.

This little wooden fragment was just perfect for the top ... how lucky could I be!

I even stuck an old key in the keyhole. 


  

The small one on the side with the knob is the first one I have ever seen ... likely on a closet door. Just added an old metal number for fun.
Likely cost less than $10.00 to make.

Here it is !!!  Ain't she pretty ???? 


As you can see, the lock pieces are staggered to the sides ... not down the middle and spaced for one large clock and two small ones.


My inspiration came from  Mamie Jane's.
 I get a lot of inspiration from her.

Hope you enjoyed seeing what I love to do.

Blessings,
Audrey Z.
