Knowing how hard he works and how badly he wanted it…I agreed without even looking at the speakers he was considering. After being selected for promotion last the Fall, he asked if he could buy it. So for years now, Greg has had his eyes set on the sound bar and subwoofer set for our main television.
We have long had SONOS speakers throughout our home, and absolutely love them. Lest you think everything in our home is picture perfect and I always achieve my style-before-function desires…let me point you to our ridiculously ugly speakers. What I didn’t anticipate is how terrible all the cords would look with the very open-leg style.
I knew the dimensions, style and scale were spot on for our television, room, and various components. Unfortunately, that was NOT the case when I (somewhat) hastily jumped at this gorgeous navy console table while it was on sale last summer. Sometimes, I am really good about thinking through purchases and anticipating their domino effects once in place. So…we instead turned to some really easy, affordable and renter-friendly products to hide cords without drilling, and the results are fantastic! Let me show you!
As renters, we don’t really want to tunnel through the walls just to hide our cords because that would be a fairly involved and significant patch job. The gorgeous navy console we picked worked wonders for the layout of the room, but it then left me with a horrible, unsightly mess of cords that were admittedly driving me crazy. The tighter layout meant we couldn’t use our beloved media cabinet to hold all of our speakers and components, so we had to instead find something with a much slimmer profile. One such situation in our current home is the narrow walkway leading from our kitchen into our family room. One thing I’ve mentioned over and over is that with each new home, we have unique decor and organizational situations to figure out.
