We wanted another icon and my friend and I decided it should be a woman. We had a hard time and called in my bff and her husband for a consult.

We both decided on the Beastie Boys, which was easy because…it’s the Beastie Boys.īut the fifth album was tough. Since I picked the Willie, my husband got to pick Billy and it ended up working perfectly. I used the back of the stardust album cover because seeing his face makes me happy, and that outfit is just the best. My parents have a ton of old albums and since I also love Willie, I asked them to send me couple (thanks, mom and dad!). Like I said, I all started with Prince, as most things should. Once I figured out how and where they would hang, I had to find more album covers. They also worked perfectly with the little brackets, because the fit through the hole and I could hang them at and angle so the wires crossed and it didn’t look weird. So you can tweak them until they are just right. There is just a little button that releases the wire, so it’s easy to make big and tiny little adjustments. Anywho, the other thing I like about these hangers is the other end is so easily adjustable. They have the flat end that fit perfectly on the underside of the molding. I liked these particular hangers for a few different reasons. Then I just had to figure out where each one fit in between. Then I measure how far it was from the edge and hung the one on the left the same distance. I started by hanging one on the right end, where the ceiling was tallest. I measured the space and sat down to figure it all out before I started. I had to figure out exactly where to hang each line. Once I had the little brackets attached, I spray painted them. So, I grabbed some tiny little brackets and drilled them into the top of the frames, making sure to measure the spots where they went. These hangers (or any others that I could find) wouldn’t quite open wide enough for the frame. This post contains affiliate links for your convenience. I need a cool way to hang them so after and extensive search, I found finally found some art hangers that worked. I saw some album cover frames and snatched them up. I didn’t want to drill anything into the brick either. I wanted to keep the look and feel of the wall, but just add a little interest. As pure my usual way, it took me a while to put two and two together to come up with the idea to get some more albums and use them as an album cover art display. On the other hand, we have this big blank brick wall with nothing on it. I put it in a closet and thought for awhile about what I was going to do with it. I have always been a huge fan, so I figured it was some sort of sign that I should buy the album. Hello and welcome back! A while back, I was rummaging through a local antique shop and I found an old Prince album.
