Guessing my way through picture hanging has been my whole system for years and the walls show it. My hallway looks like a museum where the artist was drunk, if I'm being honest (level? never met her). That 57 inch rule makes sense though, because I always hang stuff where it looks good while I'm standing back, then I sit on the couch and the art is floating up near the ceiling like it's trying to escape. Going to grab a tape measure this weekend and fix the worst offenders. My only worry is finding out how many holes I have to patch once I move everything down.

My buddy Dave hung 30 frames in his stairwell and his wife made him take half down that same night.

Been there with the notebook, man. You're not alone.
