Easy Wall Art

October 21, 2013 Sherri Rice

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was a little busy, but we are enjoying great fall weather :)

I just (oops - have you read this? I'm trying to be more thoughtful about my choice of words :) ) wanted to share a quick idea if you need to fill some wall space.

The side effect of all the rearranging that resulted in this was a blank wall above our couch in the family room. I'm all for not filling all the spaces, ie leaving breathing space in your decor, but this space is one of the first things you see when you walk into our front door. It needed something!

I was trying to come up with something that would use what we already had, if possible. Then I remembered that I had a few extra wooden pant hangers. And I remembered that we had saved some calendars that had pictures that we liked...

Our intention was to frame some of the pictures, but the sizes are odd and would require custom framing, ie. $$, so it hadn't happened yet. Can you see where this is going?

Tada!!

Ok, almost there, but they were hanging a little cock-eyed. Hmmm... I grabbed a level and used small bits of sticky tack stuff to hold the hangers level.

Much better :) Not an entirely original idea, but this version works for us for now...

And now the space is filled with art that is meaningful to us, it cost me nothing, and we can change the pictures out when the mood strikes. My kind of project :)

Do you like to change your wall art?
