Hanging Children's Art Without Ruining Your Walls

Hi Everyone,

I'm thrilled with the new paint job in my two play spaces for the Creative Play House that double as our living areas. My hubbie put up the new chair rail trim, which we actually put above chair rail height, and for the first time, we paid someone else to do the painting. What a luxury!! Not only does the trim give you the option of one color up, and one color down, it also supplies a solid place to put a discrete pushpin. One of the reasons why our walls desperately needed a paint job was due to the unsightly duct tape residue left from hanging children's art work all over. I tried that putty stuff, and it too left marks. I wasn't sure what my solution would be for hanging art on the new walls until I had a great light bulb moment this weekend. I used pushpins to hold a small clip which in turn held the art work. Yipee!! I think the results look beautiful. Soon I will put grown-up art work above the chair rail.
