Mount Mason Jars Above The Sink
If you’ve got accessories and products you want to keep out of the way but still in reach, mason jars are the solution.

Make A Cork Bath Mat

Keep Your Cords & Accessories Together With PVC Pipes
Cords are one of the most annoying things about storing your gadgets, no matter how well you pack them up, they always seem to get tangled.
