Okay, so I am not allowed to paint my walls in my apartment!! Ahhhh! Not that I don't appreciate the light sand-brown color that they are painted (believe me, it could be so much worse), but I like a little more COLOR in my life! Therefore, I am forced to hang things on my walls. I hope my landlord doesn't read my blog....doubtful, since only my mom and sister read...and that's when I pester them to....but, back to my landlord. We were discouraged not to put any holes in our walls, but I can't leave them as be. I just counted and I have put 104 holes in my walls (I have 52 hanging objects in my wee little apartment)...and I haven't even finished my bedroom yet.......eeeeeeeeeeek! It's gonna be quite the day when we must putty over all these little holes.
I think my biggest hindrance when hanging things is I hate to leave an item by itself. When all by itself, I think an object probably gets lonely...therefore, I am always hanging groups of things together. No rhyme or reason to my group hanging...I just think it looks more enticing to my eye! I know it's not a new idea in any way, but just wanted to share some clusters of objects that adorn my walls to give the everyday-man some ideas.

I just couldn't find anymore pictures to put in frames. So, I went to a thrift shop, bought some old frames, painted them up, stuck some random peacock feathers in and hung them up in the corner of the dinning room! |

Can't go wrong with hanging things in threes. In descending size order, I hung some fun wedding reception shots. To add a little somethin-somethin at the top, I hung the top one from ribbon. |

Again, with my threes. |

Oh my heavens, you'd think I'm obsessed with the sconces! |

They are squares, they are boring, but I like em! |

A collage is the perfect way to hang all of Matt's military stuff! |
