Everyone has those drawers where everything gets thrown in and mixed together. And while it might be possible to still find what you need when you need it, life gets a lot easier when things are grouped and stored together. All it takes is a few drawer dividing baskets (I like Dollar Tree for this b/c junk drawers don’t need to be pretty) and time to group like with like.
This family’s kitchen was built smart and has several drawers with built in dividers, but over time, and especially with kids, things tend to get all mixed together again. Periodically it’s necessary to go back through and separate out what you’re using the most that deserves it’s own space. For them it was baking into one drawer, kitchen gadgets into another and misc items in a third (batteries, pens, markers, chargers).
Their kitchen also has deep, pull out drawers that are wonderful for storing things like Tupperware, but this can be one of the more challenging things to keep organized as well. Drawer dividers can be helpful in this space too because once your small bowls have their own dedicated space that’s separate from the larger ones, it’s easier to keep them organized. For this we also used the small fabric bins from Dollar Tree to save on costs, but handle the job perfectly.
I hope this kitchen drawer project helped bring some peace and order back to their kitchen drawers!
