Reason #436 I Love Bed Bath & Beyond

Dislaimer: I’m well aware you probably don’t care about this, but I’m quite proud and excited (yes, I get excited about silly kitchen stuff) and wanted to share.

My disorganized kitchen has been driving me nuts, and I hated searching for lids in my narrow, deep cabinet. So, I went to my favorite store and bought one of the most wonderful inventions ever–a pull out, sliding, lid organizer.

Before: Cabinet before             After: Cabinet after--organized!

Next up, my bedroom closet.

Very cool! You are inspiring me to get organized. Now I will just need about a zillion of those and also something to organize the gazillion sippy cups I have crowding my cupboards!

Yes, very impressive. I always go for the ‘before’ shots. They just look all so familiar to me! And organized Tupperware means that you’ve secretly been married for years actually. Look around, he might still be there someplace. Cheers & Good Luck! ‘VJ’

Several times a year, I match containers with lids. If one or the other is missing, into the recycling bin it goes. Then I feel like I’ve tackled a Big Project, and can go on with my life.

We don’t have that here!! All we get is lousy free health care. Stupid Canada.

Have you considered the Smart Spin Storage System? I got one and it revolutionized my kitchen (seriously): http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/smart_spin.html

Very nice. I’ve been putting off getting something like that, but I may eventually break down and do it…

I need someone to teach me Organization 101.

Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we’re going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don’t know, I don’t know if we’ll have enough time.

Wow, there must be something in the air, because I spent about a half hour yesterday organizing my tupperware and storage containers. My solution was an old shoebox for the lids, but that sliding organizer is really nifty!
