Feeling like a champion after my successful wall construction, I decided to press on with my living room make-over. Next, I needed to devise a way to display my very large paintings, and store blank canvasses.
My wall space was limited to 3 walls, (one of which had a large wall heater in the middle of it), and being plaster walls, not strong enough to hold a large painting! So I came up with a plan to build 2 large frames on the plaster walls. I attached a couple of 2×4’s to the door frame, and ran a flat board across them to hang the paintings on.
The depth of the 2×4’s created a small pocket behind the painting for storage, and also hid the non-functioning wall heater. I finished the bottom off with some extra sheet rock, so it was barely noticeable that the wall was now extended four inches.
YAY! My paintings are off the ground!
THANK YOU!
