So a large grand picture is always nice but my current obsession is with this placement of different sized picture frames, clocks, and colored frames all scattered above a sofa, desk, or bed creating a modern, vintage, whimsical feel.
I am currently in the process of organizing frames and a vintage style clock over my own bed in place of a large canvas painted piece of art. I have gathered from research and other blogs a grand way of setting your frames up for success instead of a lot of holes in the way. Take a look below for the best ways to organize your frames before ruining your walls!!
Step 1: Make photo copies of the photos you are going to use.
Step 2: On craft paper trace the edges of your frames and cut them out. Arrange items on the floor in the way you would like them. Remember that a general guideline is to hang pictures 6 to 8 inches above the furniture.
Step 3: Use painters tape to tape the paper frame templates onto the wall so you can expirement with different arrangments.
Step 4: Measure and mark X’s on the craft paper where the nail should go.
Step 5: Put nails through the X’s and ripe away the paper.
Also, thanks to help from some new friends in LA, I have discovered a no mess way to puncture your walls without the hassel of hammers and large damage. They are a special type of nail called, Herculeshooks. The one downside is that they are only able to be used in dry walls.
