How to Organize Your Kitchen Drawers

INSIDE: SEE HOW WE ORGANIZE OUR KITCHEN WITH THE LATEST HOW TO…THIS EPISODE IS HOW TO ORGANIZE KITCHEN DRAWERS

We all have drawers in our kitchens correct? Some have silverware, some have measuring cups, odd and end gadgets, and spatulas. BUT……….

Are those drawers out of control? Mine are…..they are OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

I was looking through some Pinterest posts and realized (again) that no one LIVES like this.

I appreciate transparency, I hope you do too. It’s not always pretty but it’s reality. That’s the whole point of this thing – I’m a real person and so are you. If I can do it, so can you. Make sense?

This is where I’m starting…..how about you?

These are my utility drawers. It is hard to find what you need, without getting injured.

Just like with all organizing projects, we start with the basics.

PURGE

Take everything out of the drawer in question. Purge the unnecessary items. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need 2 measuring cup sets. I haven’t used the mango cutter like EVER. Those were placed in a donation box.

CLEAN

With these drawers, crumbs can fall anywhere and everywhere. I suggest vacuuming the crumbs out, those suckers can be tricky. Then, as usual, clean with my fave – Mrs. Meyers.

ORGANIZE

This is my favorite part. I have several organizers but they are not working for me.

So I went to the The Container Store and found some amazing drawer organizers. The problem is – not all of them fit my drawers. This is where you need to be careful – measure or be prepared to play tetris with your drawers.

I decided to stick to simple organizers and play tetris, it was a favorite game of mine. This was my second choice but it wasn’t going to fit in my drawers, I love the idea though.
