I went to the Smithsonian site because I remembered hearing on NPR that
her kitchen had been preserved there essentially in its entirety. From
the faq:

(http://americanhistory.si.edu/juliac.../html/faqs.asp)

"When viewers of these programs visit the exhibition they will
recognize certain details-like the knives attached to wall-mounted
magnetic strips between the windows--but the center of the room will
seem very different."

So Julia used magnets!
