No underwear talk over here today. I'm referring drawers, like the ones in dressers or kitchen or bathrooms. They are the perfect breeding place for clutter and excess randomness. All you have to do is shove that piece of paper or twisty tie or singular trinket that is rather homeless in the drawer, and everything looks okay. But that's the thing--it's really not okay. Sure, on the surface your home may seem immaculate, but all it takes is that one little item added to the drawer to cause an explosion of the random kind.
Today, I'll expose my kitchen drawers. You will see my devotion to organizers. And my abundance of cooking utensils. Oh yeah, and if you're still thinking this post is about undies, you can go clean up that drawer too. Our dressers are a different story for a different day, but still share the same message. That message? You can never be too organized. Or can you? You be the judge!
Welcome to my five kitchen drawers.
In drawer #1: Spices & mishmash (matches, cupcake liners, hand sanitizers, lighter, citrus/bug-be-gone wipes, and frosting decorators)... and a lone flashlight
Drawer #2: Scrubby ol' oven mitts, chip clips, containers for rubber bands & twisty ties, meat thermometer, silicone trivet, rubber gripper, and popsicle maker with extra sticks
Drawer #3: General silverware and grill utensils
Drawer #4: 2 whisks, colander spoon, rolling pin, two sets of salad forks (sentimental), cooking utensils, can opener, food processor extras, and garlic press (by far the BEST kitchen tool)
Drawer #5: Plastic wrap, wax paper, measuring spoons & cups, cookie cutters, can lid (essential if you use canned pet food), mixer attachments, bottle opener, citrus peeler, spatula, veggie peeler, pizza cutter (works great for cutting brownies or cakes), bread knife, and serving utensils.
And those are our drawers. Do we have more than we need? Probably. Do we use everything? Most of the time. Do I want to pare down? Absolutely. Which items would you fore-go?
So what's in your kitchen drawers? Are they ready to explode? Do you too have a love of drawer organizers? Are you inspired to tackle a drawer or two today? Let's share!
