<div align="center">I see so many great ideas out on the blogs, I've decided to share a few of my faves today.  This might even turn into a series!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Up today are two great ideas for kitchens.  Both of these ladies use my favorite glass canisters for storage out on their counters....these are in almost all of my kitchen photo shoots.  Of course, I've seen these in Ina Garten's and Martha Stewart's kitchens, but I love how simple and generic they are.  So adaptable to any style!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
