I agree with this. My aunt moved in with her mother-in-law and was not allowed to put nails into the walls. A few years later the house burned down and all those unblemished walls were gone, too. They built a new house and now Aunt Agnes could put nails into the walls.

Use nails! But be sure they are going into studs!

I like command strips but not for something like a mirror.

I love monkey hooks. They do make a tiny hole in the wall, but they are strong and easy to put up, and they hold the object close to the wall. I think at the weight you are dealing with here there should be a command hook that could take it, but I have had no luck at all with them on textured walls. They give out after a while if the surface isn't perfectly smooth.

Need to google monkey hooks, never heard of them.

Wow! Those look ingenious!

My 1920s house has crown molding across the top of the walls. I love it. Special clips for wires to hang from. Lots easier than nails in plaster walls.
