I saw this item in a catalog ...
Cell Phone, MP3 and PDA Charging Station Plug in - The Lakeside Collection
It is a cellphone charging station. I kept looking at it and thinking, "I should buy that. It's a good idea." But the more I kept looking at it, the more I kept thinking it would end up getting decluttered somewhere down the road - probably soon. I've seen other styles like this. An earlier version I saw attached to the switchplate using the screw that is already installed there. Instead of the cellphone sitting on a shelf, the cellphone slipped into a little pocket that was off to the side.
It then dawned on me, I could make one!
I took an empty one liter water bottle and cut off the top. I then shaped the bottle so the back had an opening for plugging in the cellphone charger and the front had a pocket for a place to put the cellphone. I wrapped the excess cord around the bottom of the bottle.
