Fit Tall Bottles in Short Cupboards with a Wire Rack

If you have a few bottles that are just a smidge too tall for the cupboards in your kitchen, weblog I'm an Organizing Junkie has a solution: just store them on their side with a wire rack.

This is one of those facepalm-why-didn't-I-think-of-that solutions (especially because we've featured something similar before), but if you're still struggling with bottles too tall for your shelf, this'll do the trick. Just make sure the caps are screwed on tightly before you go storing them sideways!

4 Quick Fixes for the Kitchen | I'm an Organizing Junkie

The Modular Workspace

Today's featured workspace is a clean, open desk. The desk itself isn't modular, as you might expect from the workspace name, but the organization and use of the gadgetry is.

Flickr user AFGdesign set up his desk with voice-activated gadgets at the ready. His Nexus 7 sits on a self-made plaster stand beside his HP Probook 4530s (running both Chromium and Windows 8). He says he usually has Google Now open so he can just say "Google" and do a voice search. He also hacked an IKEA spring-loaded arm lamp to hold his iPod (using the original plastic holder that came in the box)—for quick Siri commands—and two pens (using strong magnets). Finally, he uses a CD rack to hold his pens and the iPod charging wire.

The space looks very simple, but it's also well customized. (By the way, that's a plaster sculpture of an elbow AFGdesign made.) The lamp arm means he can easily move everything out of the way:

I like to keep an open desk and have everything at arms reach. This is how I work every day. You may notice that I dont have any papers, this is because I bring to my desk the paper I need for what I'm going the work on, the rest stays out of the way.

Sounds like our kind of guy.

If you have a workspace of your own to show off, share them with us by: a) posting it in the discussion below, attaching your image to the post, b) posting it to your personal Kinja blog using the tag featured workspace, or c) adding it to our Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Flickr pool. Make sure any photos you include are at least 640x360. Keeping them to 16:9 helps, too! Include a little text about the stuff you used, how you came up with the design, and any other relevant details. If your clever organization and good design sense catches our eye, you might be the next featured workspace.

Build a Cheap, Great Looking iPhone 5 Dock Out of Lego

Just because Apple doesn't make an iPhone 5 dock doesn't mean you have to spend a bunch of money on one. The designers over on the Daily Brick show you how to build your own dock using nothing but Lego, and it actually looks pretty solid.

The entire dock takes 42 Lego bricks, and you can buy the kit if you don't have the pieces. We've certainly seen our share of docks before, but this is a surprisingly solid looking (and incredibly cheap to build) dock for the iPhone 5. Head over to the Daily Brick for the full build instructions.
