I don't use anchors because the screws grip really well -- but you could use anchors if it worries you. :) Also, our son doesn't bring home heavy books just yet so his is pretty lightweight so far.

Or do you have solid core doors? <br /><br />After nearly two months of trying to keep our three foster kiddos lunch boxes contained to the top of the fridge when not in use, I slapped up some command hooks on the back of our pantry door. As soon as they were up, I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner! The back of the door is such an underutilized space! <br /><br />Command strips / hooks can be your best friend! I use them all over. Try them on the back of the cabinet doors for measuring cups. We hung jumbo ones at a kid friendly height on the back of the kids bedroom doors to hang their towels and a smaller one on the side of my bathroom cabinet to hang the hair dryer on. The cord strips are great for keeping cords hidden too - I know how much you hate that ;) <br /><br />We've found lots of (non frame related) uses for the photo hanging strips as well. They are better than the poster strips because they are essentially Velcro with two pieces and the tab to remove them can be hidden by the item, unlike the poster strips. ivlichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717024456178835785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-83233558583622833442015-01-22T09:55:58.337-05:002015-01-22T09:55:58.337-05:00My mom put one in her bathroom for jewelry years a...My mom put one in her bathroom for jewelry years ago and swears by it!ivlichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717024456178835785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8055329997918362592015-01-21T12:47:48.744-05:002015-01-21T12:47:48.744-05:00Love your blog, thanks for all the organization ti...Love your blog, thanks for all the organization tips and tricks.
