AboutEileen Cronk Expertise If you are decorating your home on a budget I can answer most questions about what to look for when buying "good old stuff" at garage sales, yard sales or auctions. I can answer most questions about the refinishing, and repairing of wood items. I have had lots of experience in this area and made lots of mistakes over the years which I may help you avoid.
Experience I have been haunting auction sales,flea markets etc. for 30 yrs. I have worked extensively at refinishing, and repairing all the old stuff I bring home. I also work for other people, and do repairs and refinishing for several antique stores.

Question I have a picture that I want to hang over the mantle. Is it okay to hang it off-center and place candlesticks or some other type of art on the other side of the mantle to take up the space?
Answer Hi Peg
Nice to hear from someone who thinks "out of the box" LOL.
And yes you can hang your pictures like this.
Remember..you have only yourself to please.
If you like it then its fine. There are no rules.
Good Luck and great question.
Regards
Eileen
