You know how a lot of twenty-somethings’ digs have that bare-walled, minimalist look going on because the inhabitants never got around to buying new art, once they realized that those faded Klimt posters from the college days just weren’t going to cut it? Not a problem in this house of mine. Blame it on my art student past, or on my sweetie’s inability to say no to cheap, funky paintings glimpsed at too-frequent estate sale hunts: whatever the reason, we always seem to have more artwork than wallspace.

You can generally find them in the carpet edging/finishing section. spraypaint (optional – if you like the silver color, you won’t need to paint) screws (#6 x ¾"), at least 3 per track (more if you’re planning to hang heavy artwork) plastic anchors to accommodate the above screws (assuming you’re installing the track in drywall; if you’re installing in concrete, you’ll need concrete anchors. If you’re putting the screws into wood, on the other hand, you won’t need anchors at all.) electric drill pencil stepladder a friend
