Obviously some smart-aleck like @porwest is going to reply "On the walls"
I have always had a good eye for hanging pictures. I just take my hammer and nail and size it up by just eye-balling it and I hang the picture.
My former husband measured and put marks on the wall and used a level and everything.

I usually just eyeball it too. Most of the time it works out fine, and if it is a little off, nobody really notices anyway. Some people swear by measuring and using a level, but I feel like that takes the fun out of it. As long as the picture looks good on the wall, that’s what matters most.

lol. You took the words right out of my mouth.
I tend to measure from the floor up and left and right and make marks where I want the screws or nails. I have never used a level, though.
Many times, where something will be hung, sits on a table somewhere waiting for me to get around to actually hanging it. lol
