Today I’m sharing some simple steps to organize your junk drawer!

As we start a new year, I know many of you have goals to purge and organize different spaces in your home!  It can be overwhelming, so I decided to start small…with our junk drawer!

Before

I’m ashamed to say this drawer has pretty much been a hot mess the entire time we’ve lived here!

Step 1:

Empty the entire drawer and divide all the items into piles:  keep, trash or relocate.  Group similar items.

I found all kinds of randomness in mine, but the bonus was 2 gift cards and about $7 in change!

Step 2:

Line your drawer.

I had leftover peel and stick wallpaper from our pantry project that I used to line the bottom of the drawer.  Wallpaper or contact paper work great!

You can find mine HERE and more peel and stick options HERE.  

Step 3:

Grab items needed to help you get organized.

I bought this set HERE. 

I like that this was inexpensive and the compartments are interlocking so they won’t slide around.

After

I organized all the “keep” items into the compartments and BOOM….brand new drawer!

Some days you conquer the world….some days you conquer a drawer, and it still feels like WINNING!

These steps are simple, but I hope they give you some motivation to get started!  It feels SO good when it’s done!
