ARTICLE # 6 TO HELP WITH:

Selecting HANGING SPACE Within Your Place

He or she says: Got this one!! Oh Boy! Now its mine!!

You find yourself with this wonderful creation to delight you for as long as you want!


BUT!
 


Where should you place it within your space?

Perhaps you already have in mind the place.


Over the fireplace, over the sofa; over the headboard of your bed.

In the foyer; down the hall. It fits well in the dining room instead.



Being small for intimate gazing,

The way it fits in is really amazing.


Its so large it bounces off the wall.

Can you imagine a painting so tall?


How in the world can you hang it there?

What can you use as your best hardware?



Know where your studs are.

Get a studfinder.


How tall are your people?

Use a string snap reminder.


You have three choices which you may consider:

Level at the top, level at the bottom or


Center each painting to be uniquely at eye level.

But what the devil! Whose eye level?



Choose some more,

Even over the door.


Move it back

To where you had it before.


Ye gads now.

You must decide


Get it done.

Before the day has died.



May you enjoy your continuous art collection quest;

May your spirit be lightened as you saunter among your choices.


May family, friends or any special guests,

Express their similar rejoices.


BUT! It is only YOU - your spirit and soul -

With which we are concerned.


Envelop yourself as you would like.

Your joy has been earned.



>>>TRUST YOURSELF! <<<

Learn a little.

Ask a lot.

Make a decision.

Enjoy what you've got..
