Dining Room Picture Wall

Now that I have finally finished the kitchen, I have been wanting to start in on the dining room. The first project has been a picture wall.

Here is the before (Don’t worry- I will find a new place for our beloved goose picture):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I started one of my favorite pictures in a large frame on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I hung the first picture rail on the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was even level. For me that is pretty amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used a metal knitting needle to poke an indent in the wall through the screw holes while holding the rail up level. I was pretty happy with my success. I then taped yarn to hang down as lines for where my lower shelf should hang. Elizabeth cutely insisted on being in the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That only left adding some frames to the new shelves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a hit with Duncan and Elizabeth. Elizabeth even keeps taking the little frame on the low shelf and carrying it around the house.
