I love household projects. And I thrive on organization. And if you’ve been hanging around The House Down the Lane for long, those things come as no surprise to you.
But the secret identity of my go-to all around household tool just might surprise to you…
Command Poster Strips! I use them for everything:
#1 ~ To hold all of my drawer organizers in place.
I love to organize my drawers, but it drives me batty when the bins and baskets don’t stay put.
A poster strip along the bottom of each and voila! No more shifting!
#2 ~ To hold light-weight wall art and art “holders” {frames, clipboards, etc.} against the wall.
I recently created a Kids’ Art Gallery Wall on our landing, and I LOVE it! But I didn’t love that the clipboards wouldn’t lie flat against the wall and the “sticking out in strange places” quality of my kids’ art.
A poster strip on the back of the clipboard and one on the back of the art fixed those annoying problems!
See how nice and flat everything is?!
#3 ~ To attach organizational items to each other.
I created this DIY Desk Organizer for my Home Office Redo {you can see the Home Office Reveal here}, and originally decided to keep each can separate from the others in case I wanted to grab a can and go work in another room. But after a few weeks of cans shifting this way and that and looking like a mess, I decided it was time to tie them together.
The Poster Strips are holding well, and I’ll be able to remove them without any harm to the project!
#4 ~ To hold gentle, organizing reminders.
My kids don’t like to put things away. And even if they do, by some miracle, put it away, they put it in the WRONG place. It drives mamma insane!
So, to give my lovely, adorable children a gentle reminder, I’m making labels for the fridge and the pantry {where the bulk of the reminders are needed}. I’ll attach them with poster strips…perfect staying put power without the damage and the sticky residue!
#5 ~ To secure decor items in place.
I love to prop and place decor items. But they don’t always like to cooperate. They like to slip down or fall over or roll away. So, a small Poster Strip is the perfect way to contain the vignettes that I obsess over.
And no damage to my chalkboard!! Ding dong!
And that is why Command Poster Strips are my go-to all around household tool!
