Locked

Uploaded: March 20, 2011

Description

I adopted this old bureau from my aunt & uncle's porch several years ago. Love the shabby chic look. Last spring I was at my mother's home (which used to be my great uncle's)and went on a basement adventure. I found a jar of old keys and kept this one. When I returned home it occurred to me it might fit the locks on the bureau, I was tickled that it fit and works :) Image was cropped, a small amount of saturation adjustment, and smudge & healing filters used.
