I am right there with you! I save containers and even empty boxes. I have family scattered all over the country and so I always need a box to send something somewhere. It drives my husband nuts. When I was in the Navy and moving every 2-3 years I had a large box filled with other smaller boxes. The movers would see the size of the box and prepare to heave it but then discovered it was very light. I’d sheepishly say “it’s just a box of empty boxes.” They’d look at me like I was crazy! But oh well. I love your new home for your containers.

Oh I hear you!!! I’m a great tosser(of things that should be tossed, and things that should NOT be tossed) but my containers. Ahhhh. I have a soft spot for their beautiful-ness. It hits me deep in my inner soul. :) I loved this post!! And I am getting frustrated by my mass of unused containers. And really, t*ssing one would be sacrilege.

Loved it! I can’t relate as I am always running to the store when I need a container, but I could understand how I could become like that if I had a place to store my “soon to be used containers”. My husband insist that nothing can stay unless it has a place (even containers). We have no basement for storage. :-( So we are always going through things ~ before a new thing can enter. :-)

Too funny. And I thought I was bad! I think I’ll have to have my husband read this. Maybe he won’t think I’m so crazy anymore. LOL

Wow! I’m glad to see someone else who has stacks of containers ready to use. I don’t have quite that many nor are they so nicely organized…:-) but I love having a pile of empty baskets, tins and shoe boxes at my disposal should I have the urge to organize.

I’m on the bloggy award bandwagon, as well–I have listed you as one of my “Delightful Dozen” blogs I would love to give an award to.

I love to read about and see the pictures of the transformations you accomplish with your organizational tricks. I tend to agonize endlessly over finding just the “right” system, and end up doing nothing. Thanks for the inpsiration!

I’m sending this to my husband so he knows I’m not the only one! I love containers too! And I love finding uses for containers. Finding a way to store your containers must have been so satisfying…congrats!

You are crazy! :)

Interesting though because someone (an American) asked me what a compactum is (apparently you guys call it changing tables) LOL

Bobo it’s true I have many full containers as well used all over my house. Drawers, shelves, closets…none of them escape my containeritis. However I should have probably mentioned that many of the empty ones are also put to use when I’m organizing with clients and friends.
