I came across Poppytalk's blog entry about using pant hangers to hang prints and how it was in the summer issue of O at Home Magazine! I thought it was kinda funny since I started using pant hangers years ago just as a budget solution to hang my collection of prints. Little did I know that even Oprah thinks it's a good idea!! I feel so special...I mean, it's OOOH-PRAH we're talking about!The way they photographed the hangers with charming old photographs was definitely more sophisticated looking than my jumbled arrangement. I love pant hangers myself and think that they are elegant, well-designed utilitarian objects. I have a whole collection of vintage hangers in all different sizes, materials and forms.
But I was super psyched to also see that Jan from Poppytalk blog wrote a nice entry about my display!! So awesome!! Thanks Jan!!Dylan and I built this grid on a project day because our landlord is strict about what we do to the old 1905 lathe&plaster walls in our apartment. So we came up with this simple grid for us to change things up easily.
would love to know who did the pieces on your display.

ReplyDeletethis is really beautiful space. planning on blogging about it. what a gallery wall!
ReplyDeletewhere is the sofa from?
ReplyDeleteIt's an old Knoll couch from a public library and we had it reupholstered with Maharam fabric. Unfortunately, I don't know the model of the couch!
ReplyDeleteYour display is amazing. Good job! I'm moving into a new house in August and I'm not sure how hanging things is going to go. This is a good back up plan!
