JUNK DRAWER ORGANIZATION
The mini organizing challenge of the week is to clean out your junk drawer. This drawer is one big headache. We can’t live with it and we can’t live without it. It’s a love/hate relationship. The key to managing this drawer is to organize it a little every day. When you are on the phone, waiting for something to come out of the oven, etc., straighten it up. So today, empty out your drawer, wipe it clean and reorganize it. Use containers to keep things in place. I purchased my drawer organizer from Garden Ridge. It even came with labels. Have fun organizing!!
Below is my junk drawer, before the mini challenge. I’m so embarrassed to post this picture, just so you know!
After cleaning and organizing the junk drawer. MUCH better!
Happy Organizing!

Where did you find the containers that are containing your stuff? Thanks.
I need to get one of those trays for mine- my junk drawer would give you nightmares. And then we clean it out, and two days later it’s magically junky again.
Ha… My junk drawer is in the same exact spot in the kitchen as yours. On my list for this weekend!!

Toni, where did you buy your cabintry hardware? I love it.
It’s from Restoration Hardware. 🙂
The best move last year was to get rid of the junk drawer in my kitchen and instead use a SMALL basket as such.
That drawer used to drive me nuts! No matter what I did, it was always a mess.
Now only a few things don’t have a specific place in my house, and are kept inside that basket
I was JUST looking through our drawer last night and thought, “boy do I need to do SOMETHING with this!” Thanks for the push! Now, to find things I already own to organize it with!!! 😉
