Step 2: Sweet talk Husband:
This is where I tell you that I don't have pictures of sweet husband drilling a hole in the back of this box. Let this be a lesson to you...ALWAYS TAKE PICTURES!! It was easy. He took a drill and cut a hole big enough to fit a power strip cord in the back.
See the hole? It's not that pretty but it works (& nobody sees it)! He put electrical tape around the edges so that it would not rub the cord or cut fingers. Again, not pretty but functional :)
See? Looks great! Just don't open the door...I am warning you...don't open the door...
Aaahhhhhh! What a scary mess (& probably a fire hazard). Now you can see the inside with the power cord. If I was Martha Stewart, I would have all the cords tightly bound with color coordinating labeled tags...NOT!
My inspirations came from this:

This is great!! Awesome tip!
That's a great idea, always looking to hide cords!
What a great idea! I need to do something like this to store our electronic gadgets while they're charging.

What courage to do this yourself! I don't like cords all over either so this would be great.
Great idea! I am going to look around for something to do the same! Thank you for the inspiration.
Too cool of an idea!!
That is so nifty! Yeah, all those cords and devices drive me a bit bonkers, but hiding them away like this is brilliant!
Thanks for sharing in this weeks Make Your Monday!
