Special Needs Decorating: Hanging Pictures from Hinges

I wrote this on November 25, 2009 ------------- I told my husband tonight that we were basically going to need to decorate the living room like a motel or a waiting room at Children's Hospital--everything solid and bolted down. Today I was able to rehang a favorite picture that our son had taken off the wall and broken the glass. I bought a sheet of plexiglass at Home Depot and cut it to size; it was under $12. Then I found the studs in the wall, screwed hinges to the back of my picture frame, drew a level line, and screwed the hinges into the studs. It looks great and might even stand up to our boy! Update: Since then I have rehung all of our pictures like this. He can flip them up all he wants and it doesn't bother me.
