Most of the country is apparently covered in snow right now, or so the news tells me. Here is Arizona, we are flirting with Spring.

Are kitchen canisters still cool? Whether they are or not, I have a hand-me-down set we received seven years ago, when we got married. I decided my kitchen might look a little cooler if I introduced some concrete to the mix.
