Kitchen cords like blenders, coffee makers, mixers, toaster ovens, and microwaves.


Living room cords could include TVs, lamps, DVD players, or perhaps any one of the plethora of USB cords or chargers.

    Wouldn't you need to wash it a lot? I imagine it getting really gross in kitchen do you take it off when using the blender?

    I use poo noodles slit down the sides from my electric cords at run along my baseboards so they blend in with my white baseboards and can’t really be seen so my computer wires in any actual wires are hitting the pool noodles and my room. Vacuum doesn’t get caught on anything either

    Personally, I do not like the look . They have these chord organizers 3 for 5.99 on Amazon. You peel off the paper to reveal the sticky side of the tape and viola! Your chord is hidden behind the appliance out of view. I do not mean to hurt your feelings I have done creative things that don't make dollars and sense with what's already out there. It's just a very creative mind!

    Fire hazard for sure. From someone whose house burned to the ground when I was 17 years old and lost everything - including so much Beatles memorabilia that I would be rich today - ha ha - really think before doing things like this.
