Kitchen drawer organising

Wednesday, December 22, 2010


Ok so this isn't one of my organising jobs on my to do list but it was bad, and I just haven't got into wanting to do any of the big jobs yet. I really do get overwhelmed. So if anyone has any advice on helping me get over that it would be appreciated.

This was a quick job. although there was alot of procrastination happening. I can't wait to next year when we get our new kitchen these drawers are getting widened.

Look how messy this was

Next drawers down

Once again where I get overwhelmed. Wow alot of things for 2 small drawers
First attempt at reorganised drawer


First attempt for the next drawer


Every time I reorganise these drawers I tend to put them back the same way. and well I guess that isn't working, So I thought about everything again. and decided to get rid of a few more things and move other things to different spots. Like bottle openers. I don't use them , Darren does for his beer so I thought the best spot would be on his beer fridge near his beer. The others big thing was lots of pens and pencils. we have a desk close by, so they don't really need to be in my drawers. I put a couple of Sharpies with my snap lock bags.

Second attempt
I tried to keep this drawer simple for everyday use.


I know this still looks very full. Most of the things we use in this drawer isn't everyday use, like baking, egg rings and cake slices.


So I hope these drawers will now function better.

Jill you did it exactly how I would. Empty your space completely... and then only put back what you really need... in CONTAINERS! If they dont fit in a container, probably should get rid of them.

I have been making a list of what I need organized in my house, and each week pick two or three and organizing that space. The blog has helped keep me on track... so Im organizing as I go. This blog is my journey to getting my whole house organized. I hope I can inspire you to do the same.

great job! i feel the same way, get overwhelmed with the big projects and end up doing less important smaller jobs around the house. ive been breaking up my biggest to-do (craft room) into smaller jobs, (wrapping paper, sewing box, scrapbook stuff etc) just as long as you keep moving forward thats what matters.
