Using See-Through Containers & Holders

Do you often wonder what’s in the boxes and other containers in your office, work room, storage area or even your shop? Have you spent considerable time sorting through non see-through containers for items you want.
Even when the containers are marked, you don’t see at first glance what’s in there.
What about, whenever possible, using see-through plastic jars, and bins, glass containers and even wire baskets so you can quickly determine what’s at your fingertips. Also, as you look around your work area and have your supplies where you can see them, you might gain inspiration.
Do you use see-through containers for much of your storage?
For a lot of things see thru bins are great, I love how even if they aren’t really labeled, you can pretty much tell at a glance what’s in them…for things like my origami collection, having a see thru bin inspires me to make more.
but there’s also exceptions, stuff that looks so cluttery, that even containerized you don’t want to see it…the toolkit and cleaning supplies and whatnot, that I prefer to keep in opaque containers.
Thank you, Jessica, for stopping by My Organized Biz and sharing your experience with see-through bins. I agree, even though you can spot the items handily, some of them aren’t very attractive and don’t lend to the appeal of your work area or shop.
If you have any more ideas to share, do stop by.
