ARTICLE # 6 TO HELP WITH:
Selecting HANGING SPACE Within Your Place
|
|
At last you say, "Yes! This beautiful, precious art is mine!"
You gingerly handle it with satisfying pleasure divine. |
|
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 continue to enjoy future art collection quests; 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 personally concerned. May you artfully enwrap your walls as you would like. Your pleasure and joy have been earned. |
