Is there a good way to attach anything to the walls? We are thinking about a shelf by the stove and a shelf in the bath. Not sure we would want to screw anything in. Suggestions? Thanks.

For relatively light things (e.g. pictures, clocks, etc - even a towel bar) I like to use 3M/Scotch Outdoor Mounting tape. Its double-sided and fairly easy to remove cleanly.

For heavier items (e.g. shelves), molly bolts are the way to go. All the same, remember that the wallboards are simply stapled in place at the factory - they cannot hold a great deal of weight/stress.

And, don't forget about 3M command hooks and related accessories.

We've used industrial velcro strips and pads for everything in our Pod. Pictures and decorations etc.

Nothing moves and leaves no permanent signs of being there were you to want to remove it.
