Organizing With Toilet Paper Rolls

We have a couple of large bins of cords and cables that drive me crazy. They are all smashed in there with no sort of organization whatsoever and of course none of them are labeled. Thanks to the brilliance of my husband's organizational skills (sorry dear). At least we have most of them put in a bin. Right now they don't bother me too much because they're in storage until we move, so I don't have to see them for the next few months. But I do know when we move, they're going to drive me crazy and I am going to take over.

It seems that everyone is in to "Being Green" and recycling, etc. So, I found a way to recycle and organize our cords and cables at the same time. I'm going to use empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls (God knows we have enough of those) to organize the cables and cords. I'm going to wind them up nicely and neatly and squish them into the roll with just the ends peeking out, hopefully. The beauty of the toilet paper and paper towel roll is that you can easily write on the outside of them. So, I can label all of the cords that aren't obvious. Now, my husband would say they are all "obvious" and labeling wasn't necessary, but I'll have you know that things are going to be labeled. That way I'll know where things are for sure. So watch out cords, you're going to be "rolled" soon enough.
