Taking Control Week 1: Controlling Your Power Cords
Who is tired of seeing their power cords all over the floor?
Gathering dust, growing dust bunnies and just making your space look messy?
I know I am!!!
So when we remodeled our master bedroom (details to come) and I was on a mission to “declutter and simplify” our master. I began brainstorming how to control the mess of cords we had in four different areas of our room: my nightstand, hubby’s nightstand, my desk and the TV area. (We have a TV area because our syndrome often leaves us bed bound and I don’t want a TV in my teen’s rooms. Mean Mom, right?).
