Time to Get Our Junk Drawers Cleaned Out

I recently decided that our two junk drawers urgently needed a makeover. This prompted a trip to my happy place—the Container Store! After getting momentarily lost in organizational bliss, I made my way to the drawer organizing section.

So many choices!

Choosing My Junk Drawer Organizer

I wanted an organizer with numerous small compartments to neatly separate all our items for easy access. After reviewing several options, I ultimately decided on tiered organization trays. They fit perfectly in our drawers and provide double the storage with their tiered design!

Before my visit, I made sure to measure the drawers to ensure that my chosen organizers would fit perfectly.

Once I returned home, I was excited to begin the drawer transformation after spending way too much time at The Container Store!

Clearing Out and Cleaning the Drawers

First, I removed everything from the drawers, revealing significant markings left by the junk.

I used a Magic Eraser, and in no time, the drawers looked brand new! Quick tip: always spot test before using the eraser on any surface to ensure the paint won’t come off.

Sorting, Decluttering, and Getting Everything Organized

I sorted through everything in the drawers, separated items into distinct piles, and disposed of anything that was useless or misplaced. Once the drawers were emptied, I fitted the organizers.

To prevent the organizers from sliding around, I placed command strips on the bottoms of each container.

Finally, I began filling the compartments with all the items. Although the tray came with stickers for labeling compartments, I opted not to use them.

I’m thrilled with how the drawers turned out! It’s now a breeze to find what we need. The drawer organizers provided the perfect fit and an innovative sliding top tray, all at a great price.

Now it’s your turn! Choose a drawer, any drawer, and declutter and organize it! It may seem small, but it can spark motivation to tackle larger projects!
