Transforming a Junk Drawer

We all have one, whether it is in your bathroom, kitchen or office.

That faithful drawer that collects all of those knickknacks we don't know what to do with.

Getting your junk drawer organized may be easier than you would expect. We will give you some step by step instructions for getting it organized, and some products that will help you keep it clean!

1. Take everything out of your drawer. If you have a lot of trash or small pieces it is best to use an old blanket or towel to place items on while separating them.
2. Start Separating. Create categories from the pieces you find. “Office Items”, “Tools”, et. Keep all of these categories separated; use post-it notes if necessary.
3. Don’t be afraid to throw things away! When categorizing, if something comes up that you can’t categorize, or can’t figure out where you would use it toss it out! Your categories should be specific and there is no use keeping something you have no clue when you would use it, “Just in case”.
4. How to organize it all. I highly recommend using in drawer organizers if you don’t have another designated, organized, area to put your new categories into. It is very important to make sure this drawer does not turn into another junk drawer. Just keep everything in order and place them into the designated areas.
