October Decorating Tip Of The Month!

Hanging Pictures

Before hanging a picture, photo, or wall art on the wall...trace the image size on paper, cut out, and tape to the spot you were thinking on the wall. Leave it there for a day or two to study and make sure that is where you want it before taking a nail and hammer to your dry wall. This will save you unnecessary patching jobs and allow you to know for sure that that is where you want it!

Rules for Measuring Drapes and Curtains

A.-
WIDTH –is always measured and expressed first
when ordering.
HEIGHT –is always measured and expressed second
when ordering.
B. -
Use a RETRACTABLE METAL TAPE MEASURE to ensure accuracy 
(ie: NEVER use a cloth tape measure or a yard stick)
C. -
NEVER measure the existing drape or window covering.
You WILL NOT get an accurate measure this way.
