Here's to get this forum started.

Build a Clean, Wall-Mounted Charging Station

Ugly cords are the obvious villain in your gadget-charging clutter, but even if you put together a nice charging station, you've still got to sacrifice some counterspace to your charging station's footprint. This clean, wall-mounted charging station tackles both problems.

She mounted the shelf on top of her outlet (depending on how concerned you are with fire hazards, you may want to reconsider that aspect) with the help of the hanging strips, effectively hiding both the outlet and the chargers from view. The cords also remain hidden by the shelf, and all that's left is small dongles sticking out the top for you to get your charge on. It's simple but effective, just hows we likes it.
I used these to hang it on the tile.

Then I just wound up the cords with twist ties and hid them inside, extended the head and a few inches of each cord on the shelf top and taped each cord in place on the under side of the shelf.

Still a nice project though

Good idea ;awe; shucks!
But where the hell did the outlet go? Is it covered up for good?
I'd rather have one that goes *around* the outlet, like in a gull-wing shape. That would be better for me, and keep those precious outlets open.
Wouldn't be as clean lookin', but it would bew more functional....
I may consider this idea ~ LogicaL Chaos ~
