In the museum world when we hang art we try to have 1/3 of the image above eye level and two thirds below eye level. Such a hanging keeps the eye balanced as it looks at the different objects.
Kathy I love them all. I have family pictures I need to hang and get off the furniture so cleaning will be easier!! I will be using your framing tips! Thank you!
That’s why I just grab a hammer and some nails and just “go for it”. I do end up with a couple of extra holes but with an extra set of eyes everything is hung straight! Good luck with yours and thanks so much for stopping by!
Kathy, inspiring ideas & great encouragement! I’m going to try those Command brand picture mounting stick ons to keep from nail holes in my rental house. And it warms my heart to see the little antique chest painted white & again loved♡that my friends gave me to use in my “commuter pad” before I retired. & Congratulations on your blog’s success! xo
When hanging pictures together, do the frames have to be in the same color family? I have various artwork from my childhood home, my dad loved collecting different prints, and they all have different frames. They are all so random but I want them hanging because they hold so many memories of my home growing up. My mother recently passed away so my sisters and I had so many random prints etc. she and my dad had collected over the years, and we all split them among us because they all held some type of memory…..the art isn’t necessarily worth a lot in money but worth much more…our memories and heart! So…. trying to get to my point…..I cannot bunch some together based on “theme” so is it tacky to do a wall with way different things with different frames? I need help! Thank you….you could come to my home and hang them with me! 🙂
I think using different frames is very appealing! Just make sure to evenly space out the different types (or try to avoid putting two similar frames right next to each other.) Lay them all out on the floor and move them around until you are happy with the arrangement!

Great! Thanks for stopping by Debbie! 🙂
The photo of a woman up in a windmill against a blue sky with clouds is spectacular! Congratulations.
It’s my favorite!
