The Junk Drawer

July 6th, 2011 by Angela

Earlier this morning I was trying to discover a close pin that I totally positively knew was in the junk drawer in my kitchen. I searched through the stacks of clutter and random odds and ends, but to no avail. This day I opened my inbox and there was an email from Real Easy on none other than THE junk drawer. Wow. It’s Fate. Of course , I decided it would most likely be a wonderful theory for me to reach out to all you fellow owners of “THE drawer.” You know what it is. wherever it is. Not precisely what’s in it, but you know precisely what I’m speaking about. No more hiding behind that organized facade. Let’s get it out there and conquer it together. Here are a couple steps that can maybe save us all from certain disorganization.

1. Take everything out. We’ve all tried the old usage of pulling it into the sides that seems like it would save time. It doesn’t .

2. Sort, sort, sort. Spread it all out and think to yourself, “Have I used this in the past year ?” If your answer is no, trash it. If it is, “No, but I might need it,” trash it. Maybe watch an episode of TLC’s show “Hoarders” to get in the environment .

3. Attempt to organize the contents. Take out the things that have a more advantageous  location , and use jars, baskets , etc to place the left over pieces of “treasure” (no more trash, so what remains must be treasure?) in.

4. Put it back. Do this in a way that makes sense to you. And also that makes your heart happy as you open the drawer. There’s no harm in having a adorable junk drawer.

So there you have it. Take it or leave it, but in the world of organization, evermore remember that you have to throw things out to realize what you really like. You might also like our houses on College Station Homes or San Antonio Homes . Happy organizing from your Cortiers Blogger!
