Hanging Perfect Pictures

Happy Wednesday! Even though it's the dead center of the work week, Wednesday is at least the height of it.. it's all a downhill slide into the weekend from here folks!  Today's post is short n' sweet.  For years I've struggled with lining pictures up exactly where I want them on walls (Doesn't that sound like a cheesy infomercial? Ha!).  I've never been able to line up picture frames with each other perfectly, so I usually opt for the random arrangement.  Until now! I stumbled across this little gem of a tip today, and had to share it.

 Look at how simple that is! Materials we all probably have around the house, makes for a handy tool to line up wall hangings exactly where you intend.  Check out the full post where I found it, on Celebrate Everyday With Me.  In summary, it goes a little something like this:

• Hammer nail through a wooden ruler.
• Hang picture on that nail. 
• Line it on the wall where you want it.
• Remove picture, push in nail to make an indent.
• Remove ruler, hammer another nail into the wall
• Hang your perfect picture up.

Now things like this won't be so intimidating:

There you have it. Easy.  This is definitely a "Why didn't I think of that before?" moment, as I think back to how many times I've messed with math, rulers, and pencil marks all over my walls only to get everything completely off! Isn't the internet wonderful?  Have a great day! Special thanks to the great blogger who posted this solution.
