BEFORE AND AFTER

If you read the previous post then you know my frustration with trying to hang a few shelves.

Yes....it was ugly and I had to spend a bunch of time repairing it.  My husband said this "you are a designer....you should be able to do this stuff".

You might be saying to yourself "why didn't he help me".....that is another whole story but lets just say I am impatient and he over thinks.  Not a good mix.

I am happy to say that there is a happy ending.

Shelves are up.

Here is an image of before

It was a gallery wall with that I just threw these up in random order kind of look.

Which was great but I wanted to be able to change out the pictures occasionally.

Shocking I know.

So I had the brilliant idea that I would put up narrow shelves which would allow me to do that.

 May I present to you the after.

I've had these ferns for about 20 years hanging in my hallway.

I was going to hang 3 shelves but after I repaired the holes I had to move the top shelf higher which left room for just 2.....and now after it's all said and done I realize that 3 would have been too much.

Silver linings.

Since I know you are going to ask.....I got them at The Container store and they have 3 different lengths.
