Okay, so the move got the best of me. As you see, I did not continue to blog as I thought I would. I had my computer die, purchased a new one with Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Man, the platform and software changes are just enough to drive one crazy! And in the middle of moving! Oh well, I’m all settled in now and my new home is beautiful.

Some may think that the kitchen is the obvious place to start with organization and maybe that’s true.  When you move in and first set up a kitchen, you are intentional about where you put things; you organize the pots, pans, dishes, and glasses as you put them in their new home.  However, once you begin to prepare meals and cook in the kitchen, there is usually a need to re-vamp your system.  It does not matter the size of your kitchen.  I have clients with galley kitchens and others with huge center islands and breakfast nooks.  The complaint is almost always the same – “There is not enough room” or “My kitchen doesn’t flow well.”  Some of what makes a kitchen work better in to have efficient storage containers inside of the drawers and doors.  These containers can be drawer organizers, bins, baskets, or canisters.

Today’s blog will focus on the use of canisters… and how you can win a set of canisters!
