Frame Up
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Decorating
We have been busy little bees here putting up all of our pictures. It’s surprising what a difference a few photos will do to make a room feel homier (that’s a word. I just made it up). Here’s what we had…
and now:
We will be swapping out the wedding photos shortly. Although, I love to look at us everyday in our wedding finest, I’m not sure our guests would love it. I’m also thinking of adding some different pillows to the couch.
How about the dining area?:
After some Major a little decluttering, paint and some prints on the wall. Hey, it almost feels like a dining area in here!
You’ll have to wait a little longer to see the entire dining area. We’re not finished yet!
I love having a group of prints together over the sofa or on a long wall. Nothing makes me more irritated than when one picture is off level though. That being said, I still love just eyeballing it and just hoping it’s right. This time, Matt took the much more effective route and mapped it out before we hung a thing.
Step 1- measure your picture frame & add any space between your frames. For us (dining room) the frames were 17 inches across and we wanted 2 inches between each photo. That means each nail hole will be 19 inches apart.
Step 2- Mark where you want your first picture to start and make a level line. Use a PENCIL!!
Step 3- Make your marks where all of the nails will go. We had 4 nails 19 inches apart.
Step 4- Hang your photos and check for level. Erase your pencil line.
Done! Enjoy your level frames.
Do you have a fool proof way of hanging a row of frames? Do you wing it or map it out?
