No-Cost Drawer Organization... I Like It!


As promised, here is my post on a little organization project that I did over the weekend. I think I was drawing my inspiration from a pin I pinned on my "Getting Organized" board on Pinterest.
It is such a great idea!

Zach was outside working, and was inside, bored. I went into the bathroom, opened up my top drawer to get something, and was disgusted. The following pic is what I saw...

Beware: I'm going to swallow my pride & show a Before picture that I'm not proud of. (Think back to

This shows my main bathroom drawer BEFORE.
There is was just about everything in it...


I know...yikes...

I immediately started taking things out. Everything.
I then had a clean drawer, with the shelf paper actually visible. God bless the person who shelf-papered all of our bathroom & kitchen cabinets before we ever moved in! It is such an easy way
to keep them clean.

Once everything was out, I wiped the shelf paper down...


I then thought about those little Tupperware-type containers that are taking over my kitchen pantry. We have a carousel full of them, and probably use less than half of them. I grabbed up some of those, and brought them in to tackle the pile of stuff
from the drawer.

I was so happy to knock out two things at once: 
- organizing this mess of a drawer and
- making more room in the kitchen pantry...
All at no cost! Yay!

I even have extra room left in the drawer for more junk to acquire...




So, my Before & After...

BEFORE

AFTER

I hope the original pin inspires someone to take the simple approach to organization. You don't have to spend a lot on nice containers- you can simply use what you already have! It only took me about half an hour to finish this up, but it is already cutting out a lot of time in my mornings. It was totally worth it-
cost-wise & time-wise.

I am excited about our weekend coming up! Our church women's group has a fun Girls' Night Out planned at a murder mystery dinner theater. I can't wait to spend time with some wonderful friends! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  3. This looks great! I did something similar with our bathroom cabinets (we have ZERO drawers in our bathroom and it's working out wonderfully. Don't you just love organization?

    i have loads of drawers like this. all it requires is to collect same height plastic packaging boxes that are relatively sturdy.
