				 | I came up with this one last fall. It's simply 1/4" metal rod and large picture hangers. About 8 bucks from the hardware store.

				 | How come you are always asking me for plugs when you have a wall like that? |

				 | It's all done with mirrors    
Bronko, I used two sided tape to hold the mirror hangers to the wall to position them...then nailed them in. The tape provides a small gap which places the rod out just enough for a hook to get through.

				 | Last sunday I built a quick plug rack out of some leftover 1X2 pine I had laying around and a handful of dowels.  I took two 8 foot 1X2s and clamped them together and then drilled 1/2 inch holes thru both of them about every 4 inches apart. 
Then I basically just formed the 1X2's into a rough rectangle and put a couple of nails thru the top into an exposed floor joist in my basement.
 
I just insert the dowels where I want them thru the 1/2 in holes so you can have different width shelves depending on what you've got to hang.
 
I got a lot of EMPTY shelves....  But I'm working on that....  |
