Hang Your Pictures

Command Strips are such a marvelous invention!  You can hang anything and then take it down with no damage to walls, no nail holes, peeled paint, stains.  They have even been on sale lately for college kids heading back to school.  Why I bring this up is that if you have any framed pictures or posters that have been leaning up against the wall for months or even years, put them up!  If you don't like them, get rid of them.  If you do like them, schedule a time to hang them.  It will declutter your floor and decorate your walls at the same time.  A tip I learned years ago that has served me well when hanging pictures is don't hang them too high.   The center of the picture should be at eye level or just slightly higher. 

When using nails for heavy frames, there is a handy device called a "Stud Finder" that will locate wooden studs for more support.  When I bought one for my husband one Christmas, he quipped something like, "Why would you need this?  You've already found a stud."  Sigh...

Do your best to get those pictures off the floor!
