Curtains should be hung wider than the windows (and taller, too). Not only do they look so much nicer like this, but they can help to conceal any electrical outlets and cords that might be hanging around.

And finally, I have talked about this before, but making a phone charging station inside of a drawer will get all of those cordless phones, ipods & digital cameras off of the kitchen counter and into a drawer...with no cords to look at, too! Ahh...life is good!
