Easy
I was in need of a pretty and functional spot to charge my phone and tablet, and to hold them while I was viewing recipes.
It looks nice on my counter, keeps my devices up and away from the counter clutter and it matches my kitchen!
I had a budget of $0, so I came up with this countertop charging station made from an old photo frame, some scraps of trim, and some paint.
To make my charging station, I found an old 8x10" picture frame. Then, I cut out a piece of cardboard to fit inside, notched it for the charging cords and painted it with DIY chalk finish paint (I have a recipe I use for that on my blog). I cut two pieces of quarter round trip that fit inside the frame, painted them and hot glued them in position.
It was such a simple project, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. For more details on how I made my charging station / tablet holder, please visit my blog.

I was wondering if you can charge a kindle that way too?
How do you plug in the iPad when it sits right up on the frame?
