Cord Control - They've run amok!

Does anyone else struggle with power cords plugged in all over the place? The constant clutter on our kitchen counter was not part of my decor plan.  (Ok, the oak trim isn't either, but I'm working on that soon...)

So... I came up with a solution! A "charger drawer"...
This is a sofa table that sits along the wall, just inside our front door.  I ran a power strip up through the back of the drawer and used Thermoweb dots to attach it. Those pop dots come in handy for all kinds of "fix-its" around the house!  After thepower strip was in place, I plugged in the charger cords.  Like the countertop before it, the drawer was a mess in no time. So, I cleaned up the cords by coiling them up and putting rubberbands around them.  Aaaahhh....so much better!

Day 1 - Create It/Shoot It/Post It/Share It

I've had so much fun searching blogs, meeting bloggers, going to the Farm Chicks Show (highlight!!!) and working on projects, that I thought I'd try my hand at posting projects.  Stay tuned...
