13 Things Everyone Thinks When They Go to the Container Store

There is little more satisfying than being completely, 100% organized. But getting there takes a lot of effort — and little extra help. When clutter starts to take over, we, of course, turn to the Container Store. And for whatever reason, every single visit seems to go a little bit like this:

1. "All right, this is it. I'm officially going to be completely and totally organized. No more toppling piles. No more lost keys. Here we go."

2. "I can NOT contain myself, Container Store. I just can't! I'm too excited!"

Made my first and probably last trip to the container store! This place was too out of the way for me and I got on probably 6 different freeways to get there. 💕✨ #containyourself #containerstore #makeuporganization #makeupstorage #vanitystorage #shopping #pink #organization #storage

7. "OK, some of these aisles make it a little hard to breathe. Should I start decanting everything in my pantry into a glass container? How many jars do I need for my pasta? Two? Three? FOUR? Better get one of every size. I'll combine every snack we own into one large bin if I have to. That's the goal, right?"

9. "I need to get back to safety. Ahh, a rack of perfectly matching hangers. That's better."

10. "What they're really saying is that I need a bigger closet. In a bigger house. And a celebrity's wardrobe."

11. "I really should have brought my tape measure. And measured my entire house before I walked out the door."

7 Super-Creative Things to Do With Peppermint Bark

Image
Eating it straight out of the package is fine, but these ideas are even better. Erika LaPresto Peppermint Bark Chocolate Chip Cookies You could probably bribe your way off the naughty list if you left a batch of these treats out for Santa, which taste like a glorious mashup of warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies and Thin Mints. Just crush up half a cup of peppermint bark and fold it into your favorite cookie dough, then bake it as you normally would. (Tip for the time-starved: Store-bought dough works well too!) Erika LaPresto Peppermint Bark Reindeer Chow If you've ever seen the Santa Clause series, you know reindeer have awful breath. This minty snack mix cures that ... for the reindeer in your life, and any close-talking friends at your holiday party, of course. Get the recipe on Delish.

Making Wallpaper in the '60s Was More Complicated Than You Think

Image
Wallpaper  in the 1960s was what  pastel kitchens  were in the 1950s — ubiquitous. And according to this archival footage of a wallpaper factory in England, new technology was a major reason why. The video takes us behind the scenes of the "science fiction-ish procedure" used to craft these decidedly over-the-top — at least by today's standards — wall decor. As the narrator points out, some hand-blocking was still used during those "machine mad days," but modern inventions were heavily relied upon in order to crank out thousands of sheets a day. The "whirling world of wallpaper" included machines that transferred color and pattern onto the paper, as well as machines that helped dry the sheets and separate them. There were even machines that helped create curtains that perfectly matched your wallpaper (aka the height of style during the '60s). And although wallpaper hasn't been quite as popular as it w...

11 Things You Should Never Put in the Microwave

This appliance is super-handy — but it can't handle everything . Getty Dry Sponges If you like to zap the bacteria that lingers on your kitchen sponge in the microwave, you need to make sure the sponge saturated with water first. Here's why: Microwaves are attracted to water. "They work by making water or fat molecules move and heat by friction," explains Sharon Franke, director of the Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute. "If sponges are dry, there's no water to attract energy and the sponges themselves will attract energy and can catch on fire." Getty Food Containers With Metal Stop before you heat up last night's Chinese food leftovers if the containers have metal handles, to be specific. You see, metal is more solid than food, so as the microwave heats up, molecules in the material start to vibrate, but don't have anywhere to go — which could start a fire. Just move your rice and veggies to a plate to av...
