Thanks for giving us information and teaching us how to hang pictures and wall art. Great blog !
Thanks - glad you found the tips useful!
I really love this idea. . . it will eliminate the inevitable "is it straight" argument every time. :D
Great idea. I'd have to still use a bubble level to tell me if my top line was straight, but this is a great way to position the wall art before you start hammering.
Suzan - using a level along with this technique is a great idea! (Especially if you're arranging a grouping of photos, like on a gallery-style wall.)
