I know I am not the only one out there who has a junk drawer that looks like this. Out junk drawer was packed so full you couldn't find anything...hence the reason there were about 20 expired coupons in there. I am all for the junk drawer but I just couldn't dump this chaos into the new drawer.
First we laid out everything we had into similar piles.
Then we starting going through each pile and making a decision about if it was going to stay or if it was going to go.
We ended up with new piles:
-Staying in the Junk Drawer
-Find a new home
-Rummage Sale
-Trash
Some items were things we wanted to keep but they just didn't belong in the junk drawer (read: golf ball.)
Some items we had duplicates of and didn't need that many so we stuck them in the rummage sale pile. (read: 5 pairs, yes 5, of scissors)
After we finished this step our pile was so much smaller. We snagged an old silverware tray we were no longer using stuck it in the drawer and loaded up our remaining items into it.
And here is our final product....
Little easier on the eyes eh? It is going to be so much easier to find the things and hopefully I will stop having anxiety attacks when I open up the junk drawer.
