Here they share some great tips on how to hang frames securely:
It is important to hang frames securely, using appropriate supplies and techniques. There are different methods you can use depending on the application. Read on for specific examples.
To Hold Heavy Mirrors
Avoid the use of picture wire. Hang directly from strap hangers (a loop over a flat plate that screws into the frame). Rather than traditional wall hooks, use wall anchors such as Molly Bolts, that go through the sheet rock and lock into it.
To Prevent Theft
Security Hangers are available that firmly hold all sides of the frame in place on the wall. A special key tool is needed to lock it and again to unlock it. These are generally used in public places but are also good where the frame may easily be bumped.
To Protect Kids
In a kid’s room where things are thrown around, use Security Hangers. If you don’t have access to them, try strap hangers on each side of the frame and heavy duty hooks in the wall for the hanger to sit into. Do not rely on just nails in the wall as they can fall out of the wall or the frame can jump off the nail if something is thrown at it.
To Avoid Crooked Frames on the Wall
When frames are hung from a single point, they usually shift on the wall over time. Both for safety and also to keep frames straight, always hang everything from two points. On heavier pieces this also helps distribute the weight.
To Keep Frames Flush to the Wall
Screw eyes that are often used to attach wire to the frame tend to make the frames lean out from the wall more than they need to. Also, excess slack in the wire can cause the top to lean out. By switching to strap hangers, you can overcome both problems. These hangers are flatter and give you the option of hanging directly from the hanger versus using wire.

Our passion at My Saskatoon is sharing about local businesses in the city. Palliser Rooms / EQ3 is an independant local business and they have just launched their new Bermex dining room gallery for customers to enjoy. The dining gallery features solid wood products made in Canada by Bermex. Bermex is a company based out of the province of Quebec, and is one of North America's largest dining set manufacturers. Bermex has made a strong commitment to the environment with its tree planting initiative - for every tree that is cut down, a new one is planted. Bermex furniture is made as efficiently as possible to eliminate wasted wood. Extra wood that is cut away during the manufacturing process is recycled and used for other purposes. Bermex also strives to deliver a high quality product so that the products will offer an optimum lifespan to the consumer, thus creating a heritage of protecting the environment for future generations.
In the Palliser Rooms Bermex gallery, you will find a variety of styles featuring the latest trends in dining furniture. Statement dining tables are strong in home décor for 2014. Create your look with a nod to the past using the new uniquely distressed century finish. If your style is strong and edgy, the "big top" table option with solid panel top is the perfect compliment to a contemporary interior. Customization is accessible and simple with a wide range of finish colours, apron styles, leg styles and a variety of seating options all offered in a step by step design process. Large wall displays show the choices of colours and customization options so a clear picture of the final product is created in the showroom.
A seasoned staff of sales consultants and design professionals at Palliser Rooms are available to help clients customize a dining set that will work perfectly in the desired space and setting. By bringing in measurements, paint swatches and floor samples, the sales team can help create a layout using computer software to help show clients optimum designs for their dining furniture.

Heather shares a tip on Window Coverings – Budget and Timelines – What to expect:
Building or buying a home this year?
Looking at timelines – your consultation will take 30-75 minutes (give or take). At your consultation, we can decide on your window coverings and take accurate measurements of the windows in your home. Your quote will be back to you within 24-48 hours of your consultation. For most custom window coverings, plantation shutters being the exception, the shipping time from the manufacturer is between 2-3 weeks. Plantation shutters will take 4-10 weeks, depending on the size and scale of the project. Most other products (wood or faux wood blinds, cellular or honeycomb shades, roller and solar shades, Roman shades, sheers and draperies, etc.) can be delivered within 3 weeks of placing the order. Give yourself some extra time so that everything comes together smoothly. We will schedule an installation date once your product arrives at Made in the Shade.
Budget! This is something we all want to know! Made in the Shade Blinds offers various choices from several manufacturers – Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Maxxmar, Shade-O-Matic and Norman Shutters – and there is a bit of variance in the price ranges. The size of your windows also factors your costs…the larger the window, the more pricey the window covering (of course). One of the most cost-effective window covering products would be faux-wood blinds. Fabrics and natural woven woods generally require more investment, as do plantation shutters. Pleated, roller and solar shades tend to fall more into the budget-conscious category, and cellulars (depending upon the brand) fall pretty much in the middle of the road. I think you would be surprised when you do comparison shopping!
