This just in. As we wrap up Mini Month, we're throwing up this find from MsMillie, the Sim-Pull wall hanging system. This widget works on sheetrock and allows you to hang a whole array of things easily and securely on your wall with barely leaving a trace. (Thanks, Millie!) MGR
Ms Millie says: It's GREAT for apartment dwellers. Hang anything on a wall without DAMAGE and no sticky mess. They even have the perfect new tool to use for hanging pictures.
Invented in Japan, the back story is terrific: A Japanese engineer conceived this device after falling in deep snow on the ski slopes. With his skis crossed in an awkward manner, he was struck by how difficult-- indeed impossible --it was to move his legs. Lying in that trapped position with his skis uphill, he struggled in vain to move until someone came by to free him from his predicament.
Sadly I have plaster walls. Any suggestions?
Very interesting product... but where can you buy them?? Doesn't look like they're available yet; this is the cryptic purchasing information from Sim-Pull's website -
*General Public Inquiries*
Please refer to the Product Gallery information. A list of locations where there products can be purchased will be published on this web site at a future date.
I saw this company at a Home Show, from my understanding they should be in the "Do-It-Best" hardware stores soon.
