Hide your CDs

Adriana doesn't like her technology showing and decides to hide it in a cabinet.

She says, "I bought an Ivar Gorm shelving unit ($20) to put into the cabinet and hold my CDs and technology, but then realized it wouldn't work the way i wanted.

So, I decided to modify.

On an Ivar Gorm, the vertical pieces of wood are about 1x4, so I kept two of the four intact. The other two, I cut into pieces and made them legs that sit on each shelf.

But, it works and no one sees my stuff."
