"New" Canisters for Storage

I have an extremely small kitchen.  There are two small drawers.  All the silverware and utensils are in them.  I HATE stuff on the counters, but there is always stuff- chargers, bills to pay, kids treasures, keys, phones.

These have no place to call home at my house.

Then I saw these at a second hand store.  

They were $1 and look very beat up, but I like the shape and knew they were the answer to my countertop woes.

I scrubbed and painted:

I liked them two-toned and I liked the original black handles.  So I kept the tops black.  

They cost $3.50 for blue spray paint.  I had the black on hand.  

Total cost $4.50 

I will store paperwork that needs action in the large one, cords in the next largest.   I could even label them with a white board marker.
