I’ve shared my home improvement posts with you all lots and lots over the years (in fact, you can see them all by clicking on the sidebar where it says “Home Reno & DIY”). One of the things that drives me absolutely bonkers is at the end of a project when you hang pictures, and they don’t stay straight. ESPECIALLY if there is some sort of gallery wall situation happening.
Before I did our laundry room switch-up, I had a group of pictures that no matter how many times I straightened them… they’d go crooked again immediately.
I even put some little sticky feet pad thingies on the bottom of the frames to keep them stuck to the wall… and it didn’t work at all.
So, when it was time for me to rehang two pictures in the same spot… I knew I had to do something different so that they didn’t piss me off every time I walked out of the downstairs bathroom.
That brings us to today’s Problem Solver: PicGenie123 Picture Hangers (here on Amazon and here at Home Depot).
They have these little metal “spot markers” that mark where you install the nails in the wall. That way, you can line up your picture with a level on top of it, push the thing into the wall and you are marked with EXACTLY how to install it. It takes about the same amount of time to install as a normal picture hanger, but your picture is straight and won’t move around at all once it is up.
Anyways, it’s not rocket science… but none of my “Problem Solver” posts are that fancy. They are just things that I’ve found in my life that have solved my problems. And since I’ve put up these new pictures using the PicGenie123, I haven’t had to adjust them again!
