Turning unsightly cables into design
Not sure what to do about those unsightly cables that are strung about your abode? Well, instead of hiding them, why not feature them prominently on the wall?

‘Cable Drawings’ Take Cords Center Stage
While most of us organize excess lengths of cable by hiding them from view, an artist named Maisie Maud Broadhead has decided to expose the detritus of modern technological life and put it to decorative use. Her 'Cable Drawings' are wonderfully simple in both concept and material, but it's really that Rococo panel-molding design that does it for us.
Broadhead calls the cable arrangement an "installation," but we see it as more of a design concept. We're immediately going down to the hardware store for more cable fixings, so we can fancy up our walls with those gnarly heaps of ethernet cords piled under our desks.
