Quick Tip: Command Hooks Hold Everything

I love 3M Command Hooks.  I use them all the time.  In fact, if I have a storage problem, this is one of the first ways I try to fix it! (And no, this post isn't sponsored - it's just a product I use and love!)

We were blessed to have these built-in hooks in our entryway, which get a ton of use in winter especially, but if they weren't there, we'd totally have rows of command hooks for all of our coats and snowpants.
Once we got out all of the winter gear last fall, we were having a hard time finding spots for a sweater for each kid.  They were upstairs in the bedrooms, but that's not really convenient when you're downstairs and get cold.  So I hung a row of hooks in the hallway.  Now the sweaters are easy to grab, and they don't get lost in the closets.
Another place we use these is in the toy room.  Each kid (except Elizabeth) has a backpack for longer car trips, but when we're not using them, they hang here.  They also hold superhero capes, in case you were wondering.  We even splurged and got fancy hooks for the boys (Superman here and Batman here), which were a bit cheaper at Target than they currently are on Amazon.
And this is probably where my love of Command hooks started: the kitchen.  I have a rotating dish towel system: one for wiping hands, one for wiping dishes, and a Norwex enviro cloth for wiping counters.  I'm probably the only one who pays attention to it, but we have a few towels out at any given time, within easy reach of the sink.
I'm sure there are many more great uses for these that I'm missing.  Where do you use Command hooks in your house?

  1. We have one on the back of Jahleel's headboard for his feeding pump bag! Also, the shower/bathtub at the parsonage in Thornton had nowhere to hang washcloths...no bar or anything. So I stuck 5 Command Hooks on the wall farthest from the faucet, two for us, two for guests, and one for Jahleel. They held up well for three years and I would guess they are still there.

    1. We've done the bathroom hooks as well in previous apartments. It's nice to be able to put them at kid level and adult level too!
