The Key Word is EYE LEVEL!

Most of you know that I am an Interior Designer and one of the questions I get asked the most is, "What do I do with my pictures?" Well, this is one idea people can do:

* I just got a really cheap rod from Target, you can see I it is hung pretty high up, you want the middle picture to be EYE LEVEL,

* Then get several similar picture frames (in same color) and have the same matt for each picture frame. Here I have 3 (5x7) pictures, 1 (8x10) picture, and 1 (3x5) picture, the frames are bigger.

* Get some really thick ribbon and a glue gun and glue the ribbon to the back of the picture frame. You are also going to want to still nail the pictures to the wall, otherwise they will move and swing back and forth.

* Then tie the ribbon to the rod.

* Voila, a nice way to hang several pictures to the wall.

* Now, a bit of a lecture on my biggest pet peeve...PLEASE, please, please hang your pictures at EYE LEVEL! Whatever is in between for you and spouse...that is eye level. You don't want people to come into your home and have to crank their necks up to the ceiling to see your pictures. Thank you, I feel better now.

* And just so you know, the picture was taken at an angle, but my frames are straight! Which is VERY important!
