Window Shopping: The Container Store

The Container Store is one of my favorite places to browse. I'm totally guilty of going in just to gawk stare at their lovely aisles of beautiful organizational items. Was that description too over the top? So a couple of nights ago, after having dinner with my parents at a restaurant that happened to be next door to a Container Store, I popped in to see what was new. I contained (pun intended) my excitement, mostly, but inside I was doing a happy dance because of all the pretty things. I thought I'd pass on a few of my favorite items in case you're in the market for a few organizational items, or just need some eye candy on a Thursday morning. Enjoy!

I don't think you need me to explain why I like these things :), but I will say a little something about number three. It's an office made up of elements from the elfa system - a line that's carried exclusively at the Container Store. Elfa is an amazing system that you can fully customize to fit your needs. They have systems designed for everything - closets, kitchens, offices...you name it. It's brilliant. I dream of having an elfa system in our house one day. And I've got a little tip for you in case you're looking to add something like this to your home: they're having a 30% off sale right now. This only happens once a year, so jump on it if you're interested! (Disclaimer: I'm not being paid to say this. The Container Store has no idea who I am or that I'm posting about this today. I just love the stuff and like to share a good deal when I see it!)

Oh, and a reader was asking about a source for washi tape after I posted about it last week. Click number eight to see The Container Store's selection. I know you can find it on Etsy and I've heard Target has some too, but this is another resource for you!
