Organized!

I almost never go shopping (besides to the grocery story) anymore.  Online shopping and free shipping are my friends.  A month or so ago I met my sister at Ikea.  She was looking for a bistro set.  I was looking for nightstands.  The largest positive to online shopping is that you can usually checkout without lots of random things you may or may not need in your cart.  Stores like Ikea and Target can be especially dangerous.  Needless to say I found a few things that were not on my list.  I saw these wall organization baskets and thought they would help with out counter clutter.  

Our kitchen has only 6 feet of counter space (one 4 1/2 ft section and one 1 1/2 foot section.  With a knife block, paper towel holder, and...clutter...there is never any room to work.  We put them up a few weeks ago, but I had never gotten the counter all cleared off until TODAY.


The right basket has coupons, stamps, paperwork to complete, and other small things we need on hand quickly.  We also fount it to be a great place to store our IPad.  The right bin has a cup of pens and pencils, scissors and can hold our wallets and cell phones. The bucket has our chargers in it.  We off centered the bar slightly so that the outlet would sit right next to the two baskets for easy access.  I hope to keep this counter clear of clutter...and am glad to have this post to help keep me motivated.
