How's it Hangin?

This weekend was "odd jobs" time.  You know all those little things that don't take very long to do, but never seem to get done?

Some of that included sorting through things we had stashed in the basement during the kitchen reno back in March/April and never dealt with.

Other chores included the twice yearly turn over of clothing...summer to winter in this case.

I have a theory that if you haven't used something in a year...or have put it in storage and not brought it back out or missed it....then you probably don't need it.

I applied this theory in going through basement stash and clothing.  Needless to say the pile for Goodwill is quite sizable now!

In the basement collection of cast offs I found some prints that I previously had hung in the kitchen but we hadn't put back up yet.  I didn't want to put them back exactly as before...why go through all the effort of renovating only to put it back as it was?

So I started to wonder how I could hang them again in a more creative way.  I loved the metal "frame" I made in the last post for our Beef Cuts print and wanted something along those lines.

I dug around in the workshop and found a cool piece of barn board....and some old metal tacks and nails.

The board turned out to fit 3 pictures perfectly!

 I attached the photos on with the old brass tacks....

.....and then hung the whole thing on some old rusty square nails.

It fills the space between our eating nook and cupboards perfectly and I like that it is a more interesting way of displaying the art without simply using frames.
