How to Hang Art Over Board and Batten

Hanging Art Over Board and Batten
Hanging art over board and batten is beautiful, but can take a little finesse. If you just nail it into the wall, it will be sticking out at an angle because of the boards, so the key is to bring the hangers out to the level of the top board. You can do this several ways. You can attach a piece of a 2x4 to the studs horizontally and hang the picture from that board, like they did on the Shine Your Light blog. So, your art is actually starting 2" out from the wall. Here's another great tutorial.
You can also use a screw and picture hanging wire, like me. I hit a stud on one side (accidentally), so I just put a long screw in partially. On the other one, I used a drywall anchor and screwed in a screw partially, then hung the frames from their wires until they were even. It was so easy! Check out my board and batten tutorial
and how I made these frames and large-scale art myself!

I can't remember the first example of fluted wood furniture I saw, but it was probably either this gorgeous custom wood bathroom vanity from Chris Loves Julia , or the DIY fluted coffee table Fariha shared on Pennies for a Fortune . The custom cabinetry was done professionally using a router for each line, which isn't something I possess the skills to do. This did help inspire the colors I used in our bathroom remodel, though! I really connected to the method Fariha used to build the coffee table--wooden dowels. What a fabulous idea!
I did a little refresh in our daughter's room, and I decided we needed some large-scale art. I actually planned to order a print, but inspiration struck on a trip to HomeGoods when I saw two HUGE framed canvases on clearance for $25 and $9. I grabbed them up and headed home, with my head filled with ideas on what to do with them.
I love peel-and-stick wallpaper so much! It's an easy, DIY fix for any space that just needs a little refresh. Because it's easily removeable, I feel much more confident going ahead and choosing a pattern. I struggle to commit to traditional pasted wallpaper--I think it's because we removed so much of it when we bought our house. It is no easy task. Peel-and-stick is also very economical, so if you decide to change it up a few years down the line, it doesn't feel so bad. I've now put it in four areas of our house. Today, you'll see the kitchen and den. It's the same pattern in different colors. I love how much the simple pattern really just makes each space.
Just for fun, here's a freebie--a digital download for some fall wall art! This quote is from Anne of Green Gables. I still want to read the book, but I was a huge fan of the series Anne with an E on Netflix. Just click on the file, download it and print it at home or send it to a place like Office Depot. Happy October!
