I heart The Container Store

[+ Charlie]

I sometimes stop at IKEA just to eat the Swedish meatballs.

The only thing I ever buy at IKEA is the MEATBALLS......

Great store, I've used them to help re-do my two walk in pantries. Yes they are more expensive than going to Lowe's and doing it yourself. ...

 

When adding shelving to my office I priced Container Store and Lowes. The Elfa shelving ended up costing less. I kid you not.

My IKEA sells them to take home, and my freezer is Stocked.....

What's wrong with me? I have never been to the Container Store or Ikea.

 

I did offer to take @Mikegaite to Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop during the next time our paths cross. Perhaps he could do me a solid in return and educate me on the appeal of the Container Store and Ikea.

I'm with you gembear...I don't see the attraction to the Container Store. Scratching my head on that one.

I guess it can be said that you Both "Contained" yourselves from going ????

Ikea is a bit of a tourist attraction 'round these parts....parking lot is often packed on weekends.....have never been in a Container Store - just thought it was a bunch of plastic bins and pen holders for sale.....one just grand opened here and, with all the fuss about it here on the thread, I might have to drop in and pick up a gift certificate for Mike

Love me some REI. Does that make me a lesbian? Love my sister's but love guys more. That way at least.

[amused1]

Sisters. Damn auto correct.

holy jeez....just dropped into my local Container Store for the first time....definitely more than plastic storage bins in that place....the cashier, upon questioning, said it was started in Dallas in 1976 and there are about 85 stores now, all company-owned, he said....the goal is 300 by 2020, or something....

YES, the Container Store is imperative for saving all that shit you are ultimately gonna throw out . Once its in a Container, you never use it !

Thank you for saying this! I am in the process of purging items in said containers (especially the ones hiding beneath my bed). I'm holding onto piano scores even though I no longer have a piano.

 

That being said, I do love their selection of wrapping paper during the holiday season. It just makes me want to go out and buy things just so I can wrap them.

Well CVB, some people may need a plastic container for that.... I just hire good Help. Works like a charm !

First time I ever saw Cody Cummings on his knees. Wish I was standing in from of him.

They have quite lovely shelving on which to display the items you are keeping.

 

In all seriousness, I am purging too. It is actually quite fun. Now the gentlemen at Goodwill greet me as warmly as do the ladies at The Container Store. No hugging, though. Oh, no...NO HUGGING!!!

There used to be a store nearby (Detroit suburbs) called "Organized Living" (I think) but it closed years ago. I just checked http://www.containerstore.com/ and we're getting our first Michigan store in June, in the northwest suburbs.

They went out of business back in '06, supposedly after financing for a planned expansion did not come through. Guess who has opened in a couple of their West Coast locations.

I like your choice of equipping your kitchen better than my own choice. What store did you source this excellent example of a modern kitchen appliance.
