This weekend Tim and I pulled all the holiday hoopla down from the attic and again I am faced with the reality that I don’t have a place to hang it all!  I love our home but two full walls in the living room are French doors and full-length windows.  So when it comes to hanging lights, stockings and wreaths, I am kinda up a creek.  I always liked Command Hooks from 3M for their easy up/easy down feature but now they are making them in metallic finishes too, which is even better.  I can now coordinate them with my interior which is a huge relief for a designer whose eye immediately swoops in on the details. 

Command mounting products make it easy to decorate on glass block, plaster, ceramic tile and wood cabinets without any damage to the surface.  Here are some great places to use Command Hooks, Clips, Hangers and Strips during the Holidays and beyond:

• Put a Metal Hook on your front door for the wreath.  It looks much more stream-lined than a wreath hanger and it’s a great look on a glass door.
• Put Hooks on your walls to hang up additional coats.
• Easily hang holiday cards and children’s artwork with Poster Strips.
• Use Cord Clips to keep lamp cords safely in place.
• Spring Clips are great to mount on your kitchen cabinet to easily read a recipe.

They are available at many retailers including Home Depot and Walgreens.  And you can print out a $1.00 off coupon here.  And don’t forget to put some away with your decorations so you have them on hand next year!
