A wall hanging system by which a wall décor item such as a ledge, a frame, a mantel, or the like may be mounted to and hung from a wall. The wall hanging system may include the wall décor item having a rear surface and first and second mounting channels in the rear surface. The wall hanging system may also include first and second mounting brackets that are configured to be mounted to the wall. At least one of the first and second mounting brackets may have an elongated aperture through which a fastener extends for mounting that mounting bracket to the wall. As such, the mounting bracket with the elongated aperture is able to slide side-to-side along the wall while being mounted to the wall in order to properly align the first and second mounting brackets with the first and second mounting channels of the wall décor item.
