Hang some “art” the cheap way:
1. Have some art/paper/whatever that you want to hang but can’t afford to frame.
2. Use paper clamps and some nails to hang it. (Tip: sometimes these are called bulldog clips. Mine were vintage ones I’ve collected over the years; you can purchase new ones at office supply stores/online as well.)
*Warning* eventually this will crease your “art” so if it’s really precious, don’t do this. This example is a colorful picture from a coffee table book about maps. It’s not a million dollar piece so I felt ok clipping some clips to it.
p.s. OMG I hate our crazy textured walls!!!!
Those crazy veins in your walls are pretty creepy! I really enjoy your blog. The pictures of the street were so pretty. Can’t wait to see it covered in snow.
Thanks! Snow pictures will be fun! Hope we get some…
I like this idea; I have a inexpensive poster I’ve been wanting to hang. Thanks for the tip!
Hope it works well for you! :) We’ve been employing the concept in almost every room in the house! (well, not quite EVERY room…yet!)

Hey Kate: t avoid the crimping: get a index card piece, fold in half and use it between the clip and poster.
Tess – Brilliant!
