Geoff hung this picture rail above the couch yesterday. We have so many small framed things and pretty books that we'd like to display, and this is an effective way of changing things continuously. I was getting a little tired of the torn "What We Get From Trees" poster, which will find a new home on another wall. We own many books that are lovely to look at, but they are lost on the shelves. And do I ever have beautiful things to display at the moment: a print from Sonja (I like the glare on the glass, actually, because this picture was taken at my favourite time of day); The Photo Album from Frankie magazine, which I ordered by impulsive "accident" one day, although I'm glad I did; an Ontario embroidery that Erin sent me in exchange for an Ontario stocking. I think I made out best in that trade! Thank you, Erin. I love it.
great idea! a nice way to access those books too, without them taking up space on a table.
ReplyDeleteCute! I've been meaning to order a Manitoba one. This will get me in gear!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the Ontario embroidery! I've been making eyes at it for the longest time! So glad you have it.

ReplyDeletelooks fantastic! makes me totally want a picture rail to show off some of my favorite books and little things (since we don't have a proper coffeetable.)
ReplyDeletei like!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about that setup! We got the same one from Ikea (http://www.flickr.com/photos/daraweinberg/4101295140/in/set-72157622115624554/) and it made it SO much less stressful to get things up on the wall. The embroidery on yours is the CUTEST.
ReplyDeleteteehee! that ontario embroidery makes my day!
ReplyDeletehave a great day, anabela! :)
