Moving the Paddle

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post and offered advice about whether I should center the paddle above the office doors or center it on the wall.
Originally I had hung it centered on the wall.

I took a picture looking upwards so that you could see the massiveness of the wall that I hung it on...


Everyone who commented and the dear hubby thought it should be centered above the double doors to the office.

So I took everyone's advice and moved it today.
And I have to admit that everyone else was right. 

It does look better centered above the door.

I know, Jacob, I should have listened to you in the first place :)

Someone had asked how I hung the paddle on the wall...
I just put two short little screws into the back (one on each end) and wrapped some wire around the screws to form a loop, like this...
Then I put two screws in the wall and hung the wire loops onto the wall screws.

Another commenter asked about the paint pens I used to write on the paddle...
They can usually be found in the art section at most craft stores.
 These are the ones I used...
They are SO much easier to use than a little paint brush and paint!

So do you agree? 
Does it look better centered above the doors??

  1. I think it does look better centered above the doors. Don't you hate it when your husband is right? :)

  3. I like it above the door too. I have a boat oar someone gave me and I've been trying to decide if I should hang it or just let it lean against the wall. Thanks for the handy idea for hanging it.
