Oddly enough we were really excited to get this new trash can (OK maybe I was the one that was excited). We had a standard kitchen one before. You know the basic open-top plastic kind you get from Target. It did it's job, but was WAY too small. We were emptying our trash daily, and if we did a lot of cooking, then twice-daily. Plus, I wasn't a fan of the open-top trash can. I didn't like walking into the kitchen and seeing the garbage in it. Not sightly, not stylish. It didn't go with our decor either. Anyway, for awhile I had been searching for the perfect trash can. This sounds ridiculous, I know. I liked the concept of the Simple Human ones, and I liked how they looked of course. I asked a few people (most recently Emily) for their recommendations. A few of our friends had Simple Human ones, but everyone seemed to have a different shape/size. So off we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond (don't you just love that store?)...
I spent at least 20 minutes (possibly more) looking at all the Simple Human trash cans. There were so many. I first narrowed it down by deciding I didn't like the round ones, or the half-moon shaped ones. So that left us with rectangular ones. Then we had to decide the size. I probably went back and forth between the larger one and the one we ended up with forever. Ryan I'm sure was annoyed this was taking so long (how do boys get in and out of a store in under 5 minutes?!). Finally we came to the conclusion that we would get the 38L/10 gallon size.
And now we've had it for 3 days and I love it! It fits perfectly in the kitchen (good thing we didn't opt for the larger one!), and keeps the smell of trash in it. I got one of the charcoal odor-eater things to stick on the inner lid of the can also. I like how the lid doesn't slam closed when you open/close it. I like how it has a little bag holder in the back. It's silly to get this excited over a new trash can...I will chalk it up to:
1. Loving to decorate our place.
2. Not being able to shop right now. Haha.
P.S. Love the 20% off coupons at BB&B.
