Part 1: Container Store Blogger Preview Lunch

Finally we get to share with you the photos we took during the Blogger Preview for the Container Store at Garden City, Rhode Island.  Let's do a recap!

We were sitting on the area that was going to be used as the dance
floor during the party that same night.

We were given the history of the Container Store while some ate lunch.

Of course we had to take a picture before going on our private tour. 

Peace my people!!! Chill free zone!!! I'm at the CONTAINER STORE!!

Plastic bins in every size!! Endless possibilities.
Shoe bins, boot bins, legos bins, craft bins and on and on...

Hangers!!!

Pick your color and style!!!

You know we had to stop during our tour to take a picture! Smile!!
Right  next to the dessert area for the Preview Party.

Aisles dedicated to every area of your home,
such as "Shoe Storage" and....

"Shower Caddies & Tub Accessories",
"Countertop Collections & Cosmetic Trays"
and "Cabinet Organizers"

We will take one of the each please!

Use your vertical space to organize and store your bigger items. 

Clearly I was a little too happy here! 

All the way to the right hand corner of the store,
you will find one of our favorite areas, "Office"

Oodles and doodles of nifty organizing things!

Guess what?
The Container Store has a "Container" aisle!

All shapes, sizes and colors!

The store was preparing for the Party Preview that was taking place that same night.  They had different stations prepared using the same products the store sells for organization.  How cool is that? Boxes, trays, bins, drawers, sorter, you name it, they used it to display the food that night.  Here are a few of the stations.

Cheese sandwiches

Mini pulled pork on flatbreads

Veggies with dip

Stay tuned for part 2 where we will share more pictures of this awesome day.

Happy Organizing,

Container Store

Oh the Container Store! What can I say? I'm in la-la land when I go inside this store.  Stress-free zone for this Chica!!!  Let's say I'm a kid in a candy store.  Can you hear the orchestra playing in the background? Ok, I know, its just me.  I told you I'm a little wacky when it came to organizing.  This is organization heaven! 

What is the Container Store? For those who don't know its a retail chain store that specializes in storage and organizational solutions.  Envision a store with aisles and aisles packed, all in a organized way, up high with all the goodies you need to organize your home and life for that matter.  

Unfortunately the store closest to me is a bit of distance away.  I don't get to visit it too much like I would if I had one closer to me but that is all going to change soon! Last week my friend told me that there was a Container Store opening right here in Cranston, Rhode Island at the Garden City Center.

Wanna know how I reacted?

I was ecstatic!!!  I couldn't believe it! Yiay!!! So naturally I confirmed with the website and yes its true!!  

You will know where to find me as of May 17th, 2014! 

I also wanted to share with you my top picks from the Container Store's current winter catalog.  All practical and affordable gifts to simplify a little bit our days.
