I think I found a new video background with my beautiful Ikea Billy/Oxberg bookcase DIY makeover turned tech gear (organization) cabinet with the Skadis pegboard. What a project! I couldn’t be happier with the result, the organization and decluttering (physically and mentally) this has given me.
I filmed but forgot to include a clip that showed my little charging station next to the wall outlet (used command tape) outside of the cabinet with a power on/off switch. I don't charge all the time so it's not inconvenient and it isn't even noticeable due to the black on black.
