Organize Now: Simple Weekend Projects

Check out these quick and easy DIY projects you can make this weekend without spending a bundle.

Cell Phone Station
 

Cell Phone Home

What it is: A shadow box converted into a charging station keeps cell phones, cameras, iPods, and all their power cords untangled and orderly.

How to make it: Find a shadow box wall shelf with an open back. Use hook-and-loop tape to attach a power strip to the back of the shadow box. Plug chargers into the power strip. Cut a piece of foam-core board to fit the inside of the cube and cover with decorative paper. Slide into the shelf to hide the power strip, feeding charger cords under foam-core board. (If necessary, cut small notches in the bottom of the foam-core board for the cords to sneak under.) Plug in electronics and set on the shelf.

Almost everyone I know rents---it would be great if there was a slidshow on storage and updates/beautifying your RENTED home. Not everyone can paint the walls or screw shelves into the wall.

Do you have more ideas for people who have to rent? I owned my own home for over 30 yrs, until I was a victim of identity theft and lost everything.
