a picture (hanging) post

do you know the easiest way to hang a wall of pictures?

i do.

believe me, i've tried them all.

you need a roll of butcher's paper, or art paper.

measure the length of the wall you want to fancy up 

and cut your paper to that length.

i had to tape two long pieces together to get the right height.

then just start laying out all of your frames.  play around with it.  take pictures of different arrangements and them decide.

after you have the layout more or less to your liking

outline each frame with marker, pencil, lipstick, whatever.

get someone cute to check on your progress.

as you take the pictures off the paper write which pictures go in each box.

now hang the paper on the wall and start nailing hangers right over the paper.  told you it was easy.

i switched a couple of frames and added one as i went along, because i'm indecisive like that.  i also left room to add/switch  frames as time goes on, because... i'm indecisive like that.

once you're satisfied tear the paper down.  you might need to take the pictures down to get all the paper off, but don't take them down all at once or you might forget where they're supposed to go.

i'll show you more pics when i actually have stuff in all the frames, and when my curtains aren't just folds of fabric slung over a rod.

and what do you think of my "new" white piano?  it was my birthday gift from the man.  i love love love it.

happy picture hanging.
