Posted byWe have this basket that’s become the wire/electronics/camera bin. It lives on a shelf (seen lurking in the background of this shot) and Tavi has recently discovered it. Time to clean it up! I rescued all the camera/electronics out first, and then let Beans have his way with it for a while:
Then I took all the cords out and went through them. The rough breakdown:
- 30% for electronics we no longer have
- 20% redundant USB cords
- 20% for electronics we have but rarely use/don’t need cords for
- 30% useful, relevant cords
I got rid of a lot, and then organized the remaining cords into an unused shoe organizer in the hall closet. The end result, with a random boomerang:
Next organizational thing to tackle: the hall closet itself.
It’s actually not that bad — just a few big things out of place that make it look crazy. And that baby, hiding in the back.
1. awesome storage/organization idea for the cords
2. awesome boomerang
3. awesome baby hiding in the back 🙂 I actually laughed out loud and woke up my quietly nursing/sleeping 8-month-old. Thanks!
What a great idea, cords are the worst!
We have a crate of random cords hiding in the bottom of one of our wardrobes. i think it might be time to go through them…
That is a fantastic idea for the cords! I might have to steal that.
I think that baby would look better on the shelf? hehe. Love it. A closet organisation is next on my list.
We have three of those bins/drawers, plus one in the loft. We’re big geeks. I think we even have cords for things we don’t have any more – just in case.
I should sort that out, really, shouldn’t I?!!
PS: Loving hiding Tavi. Made me giggle out loud.
Sneaky babies. They pop up in the oddest of corners. 😉
Oh snap, is that a caboodle?
Great idea – will use! I’ve been eying our 3-4 cable-filled baskets/plastic boxes for a while now, though at first I was pretty proud of myself for at least getting the cables, adapters, etc. corralled into those! 😉
