Kitchen organization – inside closed drawers

Entry #44, March 18, 2010

How are you doing with the Kitchen Cure? Are you still hanging in at Week #3? Last week, do you remember at Week #2 we focused on de-clutter and reorganizing the tools in your drawers?

Let’s do something about those drawers!

When I tried to organize my drawers, I realized that organization is only as good as the organization tools you have to start with.  For example, in my drawer I had purged all the unneeded, unused tools, but was left with a big drawer and just utensils.  Today on Remodelista they have an article on kitchen organization tools! Wheh hew, right on time.

Remodelista shows us how to take a drawer from chaotic to perfection

Knives, we haven’t forgotten you.

Reach for the knives quickly and safely

Larger utensils, your turn.

This expandable utensil tray expands to fit your drawer and utensils!

Tips: Before you run to the kitchen organization store, measure! Carry a small measuring tape with you and measure your drawer space and depth.  Some organizers may be made for deeper drawers, and you won’t be able to close you drawers flush if they are shallow.  Also have an idea of what utensils need to go in what drawers.  I don’t know about you, but when I get in the store, I want everything.  Remember, have a list of measurements, and how many drawers you’re filling!
