Efficiency Tip

I love 3-M hooks. I use them to help create more space in all of my living places. With as much as I use them, I thought I’d share how I incorporate them into our lives….maybe you’ll love ‘em too! There are two great things about using them– they remove from the walls very easily (they don’t leave white reside that you have to Goo-Gone away) and the hooks come in different sizes, so they’re very versatile.They’re not very stylish, so I usually tuck them away inside a door, cabinet, or inside of a wall. I hang my bathtowels, measuring cups, keys, bathrobes, belts, purses, jewelry, etc using the hooks.

I hang my measuring cups inside a cabinet door. They’re a weird shape and kinda big, but I love the cups, so hanging them inside the door keeps them accessible and frees up space.

I hang the dish towel inside the cabinet under the sink. Hanging it up dries it quickly and keeps us from using it as our hand towel!

I hang my apron in the little space between the fridge and the wall. Keeps it out of the way, yet easily accessible!

These are our key hooks. They hang inside the coat closet/food pantry door (remember we don’t have a pantry, so our coat closet doubles as food storage). The coat closet is right next to our front door, so when we come in from outside, we just hang them right up when we hang our coats and dump our bags (purse/briefcase).

This is the handtowel I use every morning in the bathroom. I lay it out on the counter (to keep my eye shadow from dirtying up the counter top) and then use it wipe my hands after gelling my hair. Then, I hang it up on the wall.

This is the back of our bathroom door. We have three hooks we use to hang our bath towels on after we’ve used them for the day. When we move out, we’ll just pull off the sticky thingy and we’re done! No holes in the walls or doors. It’s great!

This is just inside our closet on the wall. We hung a big hook for Craig to hang his belts on at night. Keeps them organized and he knows where to find ‘em!
