I got to go to the Container Store [contented sigh].
I escaped the house (alone) ostensibly to go to Target for a handful of essentials (soap and stuff), but I passed the CS along the way, and I knew that's where I'd end up. I scored a couple of clearance deals at Target on some organizational items - one of which I'll reveal in an upcoming photo. Then having met my basic household obligations, I headed to the Container Store.
I'd been eyeing this one door solution online but hadn't pulled the trigger on it because I'd seen others in blogland achieve a similar result with cheaper items (like wire baskets for $1 at the DollarTree). However, after a couple of weeks keeping my eyes peeled for these items at my own dollar/discount store and coming up empty, I decided it was time to just lay down the money for the Elfa system. Upside, they're having their annual Elfa sale, so I got it 30% off. Here is the end result:

| The only mishap was when I bopped myself in the face with one of the baskets at the store while trying out the fastening system. Fortunately, no one saw that and the bruise is pretty small. |
Isn't it beautiful? They have a variety of basket sizes and depths to choose from that just simply hook into the holes that run the entire length of the bracket bar. Very customizable. You see I put all my spices in there, and I actually have empty space. [gasp]
That freed up a drawer for odds and ends. I used my clearance Target drawer organizer here:

| The trick will be if I can keep this collection so spare . . . hmmm. |
Which allowed me to dismantle the near permanent counter installation I pictured in a previous post. Here's what it looks like this morning:

| Yes, my dirty dishes are there on the left. |
It's like some amazing domino effect. I can't wait to try hiding something else on the back of another door or cabinet. ;)
And before anyone gets carried away thinking that my home life is nearing perfection, let me derail that assumption with is little picture:
