Hanging pictures can be a total pain! I can definitely do it, but it’s far from my favorite task. If I have a lot to hang, or am working on a complicated arrangement, I will often call Eric Olson. Eric is an artist in his own right (who happens to be represented by my favorite gallery in Charlotte) but also a professional picture hanger. It makes my life easier, and – because he is so good at what he does - it’s cost-effective as well. He just hung some pictures for The Bachelorette (finally!), and it made a world of difference in the rooms. Measure this, measure that, tap the nail, check to make sure it’s level … and it’s perfect every time. Three cheers for Eric!
If paying a professional picture hanger is not in the budget, however, let me share an amazing DIY option for creating a photo gallery - The Picturewall Company and its signature product, the Perfectpicturewall. With the Perfectpicturewall, you get 10 picture frames – in either one or two inch widths, with your choice of finish – and corresponding archival mats, hanging hardware, and fabulous templates for hanging the frames in a large rectangle (your choice of four different positions) or up a staircase (your choice of two directions). To create larger arrangements, just add another set … or two … or three. The easy guidelines will show you how to combine the templates.
Don’t have enough photos to fill the frames? No worries! The Picturewall Company also gives you access to their image gallery, so you can choose images that fit your style. Replace them later … or maybe not if you like them that much! I think they’ve got some really cool choices. Wouldn’t this set be perfect in a modern nursery or playroom?
Now this DIY is just my speed – the work has already been done for you! Thanks to one of my favorite bloggers, Maria with Colour me Happy, for cluing me in on this product!
