If you have a breadbox just lying around in your kitchen and taking up space, here's one way to convert it into something that's actually useful courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens.



To turn your bread box into a charging station, simply drill a hole in the back for the power-strip cord before inserting a rubber grommet. All you'll need now is a MDF board to serve as the divider for your gadgets with you can add on by cutting out 1/4-inch slits for the cords. Be sure to label the slits for easier identification.

The best part of this DIY project is that it helps to conceal messy cords, the ugly power strip and your various mini electronics by simply closing the lid!
