Share to XSince moving house at the start of the year, many of my paintings have been stacked in piles in the corner of the studio (which was the garage). Not ideal. I was looking for an old painting and it took me ages to go through each pile. I also noticed some of the paintings have been slightly damaged from the stacking. Nothing that can’t be fixed, but completely avoidable.
Chontele came up with a good solution. She ordered some cheap dish racks from Amazon and they hold the small to medium sized paintings perfectly.
Now the paintings can be stored safely, and I can flip through them and pull them out as needed.
It seems obvious, but we didn’t think of it until now! I thought I would share in case you too are becoming overrun with paintings and you’re unsure how to store them.
For the large paintings, we have ordered a drying rack and will see how that goes. I’ll let you know if it works.
Happy painting!
