I never usually pick a "resolution" to hold myself to in the new year. I like not being held accountable for something I don't plan to do past mid January anyway. This year however, I decided to try something different and set one goal. This last year was filled with so many crazy changes in my life (moves, relationships ending, buying my first house, etc.) that I figured I should start to try to organize my life better. Since organization is such a broad category, I decided I should pick one area of my life to organize, and what better area than the home? So my official 2008 resolution:
Modernize and Organize!
So here's a few things I wanted to share with you that will aid in your own Modernization/Organization if you happen to share my goals for 2008!
Trash Cans
In the last 5 years, trash cans have managed to evolve from eye sores to eye catchers. They are now manufactured to match almost any style/taste. One of the coolest companies to appear lately is simplehuman. They now offer a full line of trash receptacles, recycling cans, not to mention cool coffee systems. Perhaps the most noteworthy is their rectangular sensor can, which takes advantage of infrared technology to achieve a completely "hands off" process.
Accessories
Possibly one of the coolest companies to hit the kitchen, OXO, offers a full line of modernized kitchen accessories. I got these awesome measuring cups for Christmas. Check out OXO.com for more great products.
What better way to start the new year than with some new subscriptions. Here are some essential reads that belong on your coffee table:
