Create a Vintage Keyplate Wall Hook with Just a Few Beautiful Bits
Looking for a quick DIY with a ton of charm? This elegant wall hook brings vintage flair to any space using a timber offcut, one of our ornate appliqués, and a statement knob from our collection. It’s stylish, simple, and the perfect little weekend win.
What You’ll Need
- A timber offcut or wood board
- Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White
- Annie Sloan Clear Wax
- Annie Sloan Dark Wax (or mix of Dark + Black)
- Escutcheon 009 Appliqué
- Decorative knob from the Mon Petit Palais knob collection
- Wood glue
- Drill
How I Did It
- Prep the board: I gave a plain timber offcut some character with a light wash of Old White chalk paint to highlight the wood grain.
- Paint the appliqué: The escutcheon was painted in Old White, sealed with Clear Wax, and finished with a blend of Dark and Black Wax to bring out its intricate details.
- Attach it: I glued the appliqué to the centre of the board once everything was dry.
- Add the hook: A hole was drilled for the knob, which I screwed in to create a practical and eye-catching feature
