Works For Me Wednesday: Drawer Organizers

When we moved in to our home in June, I was thrilled to have SIX DRAWERS (as opposed the two I had in our apartment) in my kitchen. I eagerly divided and conquered and end up with a gigantic mess. I had the drawers divided in to silverware, utensils for cutting, and the baking drawer, but everything was just kind of tossed in. I was constantly getting frustrated trying to find anything.

I had one drawer organizer with the slots for spoons, knives and forks (like the one in front in the picture above), but that didn't work for a long bread knife and kitchen scissors. Then I discovered drawer organizers -- little baskets and bins in different shapes and sizes that you fit right in to your drawers. My first attempt to find drawers organizers was frustrating because they started at $2 and went up in price from there, which was WAY more than I wanted to spend. Good old Wal-Mart to the rescue (I searched everywhere else, but couldn't find the right price!). Wal-Mart carries packs of 2-3 drawer organizers for $1.

 

I can't tell you how happy those organized drawers make me! It's so nice to reach in a find a tablespoon without spending 10 minutes digging for one!

Drawer organizers definitely works for me!
