Create an Electronics Charging Station that can be an iPod Charging Station, iPad charging station, and more! This post shows how my husband turned a desktop organizer into a charging station for all of our electronic devices.
We have a million and two devices that need to be plugged in and charged. So the real number may only be 17 (and I am sure that is mind boggling to some of you) it sure felt like 1,000,002 when there were plugs, cords, and devices all over the tiny section of the counter next to the fridge. My husband tried several different options that just didn’t end up working for us. The search was on to find a charging station for all of our devices. But the perfect solution just did not exist.
Cheese? Yep, there’s a four-year-old who loves the camera in this photo!
We stopped at Marshalls one night and we found a desktop organizer for $24.99 that I hoped could be turned into the magical device that would clear our clutter. I mean, it was adorably cute. But would it work? Earlier that day we saw the Pottery Barn Bedford Charging Station and fell in love with the product but not the price. Plus, in all honesty, it was too small for our needs.
Tada! A charging station for all of our electronic devices. The drawer opens and holds all of our camera batteries and chargers.
It’s amazing how you can turn something from a discount store into a device that works perfectly for your organization needs!

Love the vertical slots for tablet/e-reader type items. What’s it look like in the back? Is there a power strip behind it? Are the cords bundled somehow?
I will update with a picture for you by the end of the week!
Great idea! def am going to have the hubby’s look at this post. We have the GPS watches too, totally didn’t think about a charging station for those too. Thanks!
