The Secret's In The Sauce

Alright, this has nothing to do with sauce, I just wanted to say that.

But it does have to do with my secret.

For hanging stuff, that is. In places that you don't want to nail into, like a tile backsplash.

What's up with this spot anyway? Doesn't it look so sad? If you look closely you can see my little trick.


Hey, if it can hold this...

it will certainly do the job here

and hold this. Nothing fancy, but it fills up the space.

(And draws your attention away from that orange stained spatula.)


UPDATE (for you Mom): The kitties are doing better. Hayden set up a "kitty resting place" under the ottoman. Looks suspiously like a mini-fort, but we all know that those have been forbidden. And my kids don't ever do things I've forbidden. Obviously.


  1. Isn't that Roger on the wall-o-Velcro?! Ha!

  2. i've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to hang a picture frame on the wall in the YW room at church - you remember the cinderblock walls in the east stake center? and here you go, answering my dilemma, right when i need it! THANK YOU! velcro - who would have thought to use VELCRO!? only you my dear, only you. my decorating genius.

  3. Now I want to watch Fried Green Tomatoes.

    I would do this, if only I had a backsplash. Maybe I could use Velcro to hang something over the big hole where my backsplash is supposed to be.

  4. I have also been trying to figure out how to hang something that I can't nail or screw a picture hanger into. I come! Thanks for your practical, genius idea!!

  5. This is genius! I have the exact same problem you used to have and never even considered velcro :D

  6. Great idea! I used to have this same problem.

    Stopping by from Kimba's...

  7. What a marvelous idea!!! I needed a solution!!! Thanks for sharing with the WORLD!

    Blessings to you!

  8. Genius I tell you! I have actually done the velcro suit on the wall thing...a loooong time ago!

  9. That is incredibly clever. Incredibly.

  10. That is a neat trick - I'll definitely have to try it. Thank you for sharing!

  11. I just stole your idea with great success:

    Thanks again!
