This Andersonville apartment, built in the 1930's, is big on charm but when it came to decorating proved to be a constant challenge. Uneven, crumbly walls refused to hold more than a simple nail, and sometimes not even that.
In an effort to hang the guitars in a way that was functional, decorative, and efficient this client thought he'd solved the problem when a professional handyman finally got the guitar mounts anchored and drilled into the wall, only to have them fall out, and the guitars end up on the floor.
​
Rather than attempting to re-hang the guitar mounts, Sunshine prescribed taking advantage of the existing crown molding and utilizing an old schoolhanging technique: hang the guitars directly from the molding using molding hangers and fishing line. Voilà! A creative, mess- and hassle-free solution.
