Organize Your Wire Cables

My husband loves appliances so much especially gadgets great for audio and video. So, it comes as no surprise that our house is like a bulk speaker cable storage.

We have one box of loose speaker cables and other cables for video and home theatre usage too aside from the ones we currently use. I mean, how much cables can a single household possibly have?

So, to ease the eye sore of seeing those dangling cables, I asked my hubby to clamp them with a velcro snap to make them look tidy and organized. Aside from velcro, there are other tools to use to organize and keep your speaker, audio and video cables in check and tidy. Here are some you can buy from your local hardware store or even home furnishing to keep your cables organized.

Appliances Galore at Home

My husband loves hoarding on electronic gadgets and home appliances such as computers, home entertainment set and video players. What does that mean to me? Well, we are accumulating so much energy consumption. The appliances are taking so much space in the house. The cables and wires are getting tangled. I had to purchase several wire looms to organize them. Also, I am getting very confused on which one to use. Believe me or not but we have 4 DVD players at home. One of them is connected to the TV which also serves as the main control for the surround system. The other 3 are probably decoys! I don't recall using them at all.

I told my husband to dispose the other appliances because we don't need another set of DVDs, most certainly not 4 in a household. We also have several laptops and 1 desktop which we use for downloading stuff. It's the downloading center of the house as we call that pc. Again, it's a redundant thing. I thought I have already done end-of-the-year cleaning last year only to realize we have forgotten to get rid of the unused appliances at home. These appliances are almost brand new because we never used them. Such a waste of money!
