Day 1 and I'm on a roll...

I was very excited to start the 21 Days to get Organized project today.

Challenge #1: Organize the dreaded junk drawer (or drawers..I have about 5)!

I started with kitchen junk drawer..

I had a phone book, batteries, old birthday cards and christmas cards stashed in there!

Here is the before:

And now the after:

I didn't buy any fancy organizers (I forgot), but I did put to use some of the GAZILLION Glad and Hillshire Farms reusable lunch meat containers!

After the main junk drawer I moved over to my Kitchen Utensil Drawer.

Before: there was so much crammed in that most times I had a hard time closing it.

After: I used more of my reusable containers and did some basic organizing. I do want to get a regular drawer utensil holder but for now these will work.
Looks a lot cleaner and it closes easier too!

I feel much better that those 2 drawers are now clean and "organized!"

I'm going to tackle these drawers next.....

This is a small entry side table that has been the catch-all for anything and everything...it's the drawer that I toss things in while doing a last minute walk through before company comes over....

another junk drawer in my hutch.......I know I can get it organized too!
