I don’t know about you but we have cords for everything! We even have multiple cords for some things! We have a table in our entryway that I use for storing our cords, chargers, etc. A couple of months ago the drawers looked like this and they were driving me crazy! So I decided I needed a good solution to organize cords.
Every time I needed something out of one of these drawers I’d have to pull everything out because they were all tangled together, seriously annoying. One day I’d had enough so I headed out to the Dollar Store to purchase some small baskets.
First I organized all of the cords into categories. I put cell phone cords together, computer cords together, my husbands running stuff in another basket, etc. Then I placed each “category” of cords in their individual baskets.
I am very pleased with all my organized cord. Now when I need something I know right where it’s at, and it’s easy to pull out of the drawer!
How do you organize cords in your house?
Wow! Such an amazing improvement! 🙂
Great ideas– we always have tons of cords tangled up too.I'm your latest follower from the blog hop! Please stop by I'm A Sewing Machine!
I found you through Busy Mom's Tips and I am a new follower!
My cords are a jumble – thanks for the ideas! Following from the Tuesday hop! Would be happy to have you visit/follow either of my blogs.
This is a great idea! Why didn't I think of it! Oh yeah, because I'm not YOU! Thanks for sharing!
This is a wonderful storage idea. The other challenge I have with cords is how to keep them looking neat when you plug them into a wall outlet. I hate the sight of cords running from my desk to the wall plus I am always in danger of tripping over them.Thanks again for such a great storage idea. Mila
You are featured on ABFOL tomorrow. Congrats!!Toni
Love it! We have a cord drawer too…always such a mess!
This is so smart. I have found that in using a little larger storage bin they get tangled and even more strange they seem to breed! You close the drawer with 2 rca jacks and the next time you are looking there are 4! We finally elimiated our breeding program by throwing everything away that didn't match something.
Hi Anna, would it be alright if I included one picture from this post (linking back to you, of course) in a post I’m writing about cord organization on my blog?
Thanks!
