  5. For the wires, I would gather them up and wrap them with a colored ribbon. I used red ribbon on mine - had about ten thick cables. Figured, they are there, there is no hiding them, so make them obvious in a good way. Now, it looks like a solid industrial looking cable.

    Low voltage cables (HDMI, coax, ethernet, etc.) go through the bulk cable plates. Whatever you do, do _not_ run your TV power cord through the bulk cable adapter.

    1. Can't do that in an appartment....
      Maybe Miia will just buy a kinda tube and paint it....
      I agree it's messy, but the whole look more nice than messy...

      Miia: post a pic when you do it! xx

    1. It's designed and handmade in Finland by company called "Virkkuukoukussa". This is their english website: http://www.hookeddesign.com/.

      I have also crocheted few by myself. There are some photos about them in my blog: http://tee-se-itse-sisustusideat.blogspot.com/2011/10/pyorea-pitsimatto.html.
