Looking better
You all know by now what a nut I am for organization, well, I’ve been itching again lately. My entertainment center downstairs is set up with the big open square for the tv to sit close to the floor. Aside from neither of our televisions being small enough to sit there anymore, the tv in the living room needs to sit high for everyone to see. So that leaves me with a big hole of nothingness. Currently, the cable box, wiimote charger stand and the power strips sit there. I decided a little while back that I wanted to build a little shelf there, just something so that the actual electronics could sit on top of it and the cords would be down under–not as obvious. I was all set to measure and do that when I finally had a chance to look at all the possible solutions we sell when I decided I really wanted a drawer there. So I looked over everything and finally settled on one of the wider stackable drawers.
Visually, it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but it was $11 and it serves its purpose. It looks a lot better now and that hole doesn’t look so empty!
I also got a good little project drill + 2 batteries + charger + bits & bag for $12.50. We had a couple of different Firestorm power tools on clearance that we were getting rid of. There were some cheaper ones, but they didn’t come with batteries or chargers since they were more powerful–but I don’t need powerful; I just need something handy for little projects like shelving and hanging pictures and such.
I feel domestically accomplished!
