Transcript

Recently, I've been obsessed with hanging all of my frames with stainless steel gallery worse. Did this in my living room and again in my kitchen? So in case you wanna do the same, here's how I built this and everything I used. To hang this, I would recommend getting one inch stainless steel ceiling hooks. I got these from my local hardware store. Tier then I got this picture hanging wire kit that comes with these adjustable hooks. It comes with three on each worse, but if you just want one or two, you can slide them right off. And then I got two frames in the color walnut, one eleven by fourteen, and one by 12 by 16. Since these are going in my kitchen, I printed out this this fun photo of a diner and also this photo of a martini, which is my roommate's favorite cocktail. I had some leftover mats from some frames that I thrifted. So I put this kind of olive color green one on the diner photo and left a beige one on the martini glass. And then I just hung them up. These frames do have a lip on the bad, which the hooks can just attach right on to. If you are using different frames or just wanna make sure that they have the proper hardware. For a final touch, I added this circular wall sconce. It's LED and battery operated, so you can hang them anywhere. You obviously just have to recharge them every now and then. And just like that, you filled that awkward space in your kitchen without having to drill 20 holes in the wall. Let me know if you guys end up trying this one and follow along to see what I get up to next.
