Art in laundry room too high?

14 years ago

:) Yeeah, I can't even hang art without asking an opinion.

*Hanging head in shame* I even used a newspaper mock up. Middle is at 63" from floor. Normally I hang stuff 60" depends on where it is. 60" here seemed too low. Now that I have it up, I think it's too high. Is it? I hate making my walls look like swiss cheese.

Thanks!

I am sure it is fine. For one thing, it is on a side wall, where it doesn't really get seen - it is not a focal point.

Well, from your pictures it looks fine. There will be no one sitting there, so that helps. Here's a test: when you stand facing it, do you have to look up to it to be level with the middle of the picture? If yes, you may want to lower it an inch or two.

It does line up with the bottoms of the cabinets which seems a logical place.

I like the way the lavender color works with your walls, plus the greens. I had never heard of Snapfish before, but I bookmarked their web site for future reference. That could make a nice gift.

This OP has posted several dilemmas lately. I started reading this one from the onset and yes, there are several of the more critical posts missing. She clearly was happy about the selections and appeared to want validation from the people that had helped her with her other dilemmas. One of the first comments on my first dilemma on here was devastating to me and left me very upset. Fortunately, I have a thick skin and just flagged it and then along came some wonderful people to help me. Sometimes certain contributors just go too far. I’ve seen many OPs run off from this forum, but this is the first I’ve seen someone completely delete their account. THINK before you comment people! You could make or break someone’s day with your words

The art is great for a DIFFERENT space. Aside from the fact it feels very COOL in a nice "warm" dining space, it is a bit large, and a slightly smaller threesome, or one larger and warmer piece? Would be a lot better. Sorry to disagree, really. : ) But that is immediately what I see. The table is too small, and out with the plant as well. You needn't fill every corner. Not for color below......

Girl, you're gonna give yourself ulcers, lol.

Side view looks perfect. I think those 3M hangers were made for people like you. ;)

lol Natal. I think I'm getting pretty good at hole patching. :)
I've actually ripped hunks of drywall paper off with those strips!! I think it was the off brand though. I've also had them fall off the wall. Maybe I didn't prep well enough. I waited the recommended time.

I'm only 5'1" so I have to look up for the print but that doesn't bother me.

I'm like you shee, I don't like to poke a bunch of holes in the walls most especially after I've painted. No matter how hard I try, even with DH to hold the print so I can see it (which he always tilts cockeyed and makes me crazy), I still end up with at least one extra hole. (Ook hangers save a lot of grief tho, they make tiny holes and hold heavy stuff.) And I'm afraid I'd end up tearing paint off the walls if I tried the Command strips that everyone raves about.

I think your print looks just fine, too.
