Hiding Those Cords!

I really hate cords. I'm always trying to hide them. My son's room has a little shelf with his tv on it and there were a ton of cords running down behind the shelves. I found a neat way to hide them. :) 

Can you tell what I did? 

It's just a piece of fabric the same color as the wall! We just stapled it to the back part of the shelves and routed the wires behind it. 

We tethered the shelves to the wall (remember I have boys-ha!) so I couldn't turn it around to fully show you what we did. We cut a hole in the fabric so we could still attach it to the wall. :)

You can kind of see it better in this pic. I really lucked out and found fabric that closely matched the wall color. You could also get a patterned fabric. So many fabrics and patterns would work. Just use whatever you like. 

You can see how the cords are going up and over the top of the fabric here. 

Speaking of cords, this is how my lamp in the bathroom used to look. It's always bothered me that you can see the cord. 

Even when it's plugged in, it still showed too much for my liking. 

I solved this conundrum by simply placing a plate behind the lamp. 

Here's how it looks when unplugged.

Even when it's plugged in, it still hides most of the cord. :)

Hopefully I gave you an idea or two today. Do y'all hate cords as much as I do? :)
