Spring is in the air!
 
Staging a home to sell is more important now than ever.  As everyone knows, there are a lot of homes for sale today.  For that very reason, staging becomes critical.  It allows for a homes best features to be showcased and stand out from all of the competition. 
 
Here are 5 tricks to hanging pictures perfectly.
 
1.  Don't use wire.  Professionals who install framed art for museums and galleries never use wire or string.  It's too wobbly--a picture could easily be knocked right off the wall.
 
2.  Use D-rings.  Two small D-shaped metal rings cost pennies.  Screw one into either side of the back frmae rails, then hang the D-rings direclty onto two hooks on the wall.   That way, a good bump won't budge it.
 
3.  Get hooks that attach to the wall with 2 or 3 nails.  They're sturdier than the ones that use one nail at an angle.
 
4.  If you must use wire, hang it on two hooks.  If you're lazy and your frame comes with wire on the back, install the hooks about a hand's width apart so the frame's more stable.
 
5.  Think about hiring a pro.  Call your local gallery or frame shop and ask who does their hanging.  Pros can hang five or six small frames in an hour, usually for $40-$75.

FUN & GAMES 

 

Recently, I have seen commercials from McCormick spices and what a great source of antioxidants they are.  I saw it again in a magazine so I thought it was worth passing on.  Since most of us probably have these on hand already, it is a great way to get the health benefits without spending a lot of money!  Here is the list of the 7 super spices:

 

Oregano                             Red Pepper                    Tumeric

 

Cinnamon                           Rosemary

 

Ginger                                 Thyme
