How to Keep Your Picture Level! A Simple Trick!

How to Keep Your Picture Level! A Simple Trick!

Submitted By TDA Decorating and Design

I know I am not alone when I walk by a framed photo or artwork on the wall, stop, walk back a couple steps, fix it "just a tad" so it isn't crooked, and continue on to where I am going again...am I???

Well, I had to find a solution...and I did!! I found this great tip to be a lifesaver with my own OCD "levelness".

All you need are:

1.) Thumb tacks

and...

2.) A hot glue gun!

After you measure and figure out where you want to hang your photo, glue on one tack in each of the bottom corners of the frame -

Hang your photo without pushing the tacks into the wall. Next, place your level above the photo -

Once it is level, push the the bottom of the frame placing the tacks into the wall. And....stand back and let those kids go crazy because those photos aren't going ANYWHERE!

Now, I can walk by the frames in my house and just keep walking. :0)

I am writing a post about finding storage space for Tip Junkie next Wednesday so I have been thinking about storage!  Here are some great ideas and links to storage projects! 

I love these storage bins on casters.  They would look so cure under a bench in an entry way.

A way to hide your cleaning supplies in the bathroom!  In usually unused space!

I love the idea of capturing the space above a window (or door!)!  It creates almost a valance of sorts and would be a great spot for decorative boxes(holding the ugly stuff!), books, plants, you name it!
