I have a dirty little secret to share with you.
It's a bit embarrassing.
Few people outside our immediate family have laid eyes on it.
It's JUNK.
Our junk drawers {yes, we have more than one}.
They live in our kitchen island and hold many random super important items.
Over the summer the junk seemed to multiple.
Yesterday, I decided to tackle the JUNK.
With some help from Ikea {plus a trash bag} I was able to organize our junk drawers.
Brace yourself for the BEFORE photos...
I began by emptying out the entire drawer.
I tossed items I no longer needed or used.
Some items belonged somewhere else {like the garage}.
I purchased these drawer organizers at Ikea for $2.99 each. Totally worth a few bucks.
Now our JUNK is nice and organized.
We have one drawer for school/homework supplies
The other drawer houses all our misc. stuff. I used an egg carton in one of the slots to hold small items.
So much better!
Now I can actually find what I am looking for.
Thanks for coming by today! Have a wonderful weekend!

Great idea! And your Before pictures of your junk drawers aren't nearly as horrible as ours would be if I took a picture right now :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I too have a unmanageable junk drawer. I only have 1 but that's only because I don't have many drawers to use. I love how organized you were able to get your drawers. I almost feel like attempting to clean mine out but I know, after a week or two, mine would be a disaster again :)
