Care Instructions
Keep your artwork looking as stunning as the day it arrived:
Metal Prints
- For a quick clean, dust your metal print with a microfiber or soft dry cloth.
- For a deep clean, wipe clean with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of water or a mild glass cleaner.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products.
- Metal prints are moisture-resistant, making them great for humid environments—just avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Framed Prints
- Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Use a microfiber cloth and a non-ammonia glass cleaner for the acrylic front—avoid paper towels or rough fabrics.
- Keep away from high humidity areas like bathrooms to protect the frame and artwork.
By following these simple steps, your Middles print will remain a timeless piece of adventure and inspiration in your space.
Hanging Instructions
Framed Prints (Sawtooth Hanger)
- Choose a spot with good lighting and minimal direct sunlight to preserve your print’s vibrancy.
- Measure the distance between the two corner sawtooth hangers on the back of the frame.
- Lightly mark those points on your wall using a level to keep things straight.
- For drywall, use picture hooks or drywall anchors. For wood or studs, nails or screws work great.
- Install two fasteners—one for each corner hanger.
- Gently rest each sawtooth hanger onto its fastener until secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and enjoy the view.
Metal Prints (Float Inset Frame)
- Find a spot with indirect light to enhance the metal print’s natural luminescence.
- Use a pencil to mark where the two screws will go (measure twice, level once).
- Drill your holes and install two screws—anchors may be needed depending on your wall type.
- With clean hands or gloves (cotton or nitrile recommended), lift your print and align the inset frame's lip on the back with the screws.
- Gently lower the print onto the screws until it feels secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and watch your wall come to life.

Les Calanques
Bree Banning discovered why the French Riviera has inspired artists for centuries—dramatic limestone cliffs plunging into water so blue it looks like someone cranked up the saturation. The Calanques are Marseille's best-kept secret, a national park where ancient geological forces carved fjord-like inlets into the Mediterranean coast, creating pockets of paradise just outside France's grittiest port city.
These aren't your typical beaches. The calanques (French for "inlet") require hiking through scrubland and scrambling down rocky paths to reach hidden coves that feel like private swimming holes. Bree caught the perfect vantage point, showing how the white limestone contrasts with that impossible turquoise water and the way each inlet reveals another layer of coastline stretching toward the horizon.
For those who understand that the best parts of the French coast aren't the crowded resort towns, but the wild places where you have to work a little to earn the view.
