What to do with all the pictures?





If you want to keep a clean look in your home, but you want to have a family pictures around, consider doing a stylish picture wall. A couple tips. Have a unifying theme either the pictures or the frames. Arranging the pictures can be a challenge. A good layout idea is to arrange the pictures in the shape of an upside down lower case “e”. Laying out the pictures on the floor can help determine the best layout, take a picture and use it as a guide. My friend Lisa got me a great tool for hanging pictures. The “Hang and Level” tool marks where to put your nail and has a built-in level. Check it out at http://hangandlevel.com, a great investment for only $20. Once you have the pictures level use small sticky dots to adhere the frames to the wall and then you will not need to adjust every time someone slams a door.
