Rubbermaid | Drawer Organizers

Organizing my own personal chaos is about managing life as a mother and also trying to tackle the household duties as well. There are plenty of rooms, closets, and drawers in your home, that need attention and tidying on a routine basis. And whether you are a Mom, Dad, Grandparent or College Student, we all seem to have one common area that is always in total chaos – The Junk Drawer!  Mine is right in the hub of my house, where there is the most action. And that is exactly where most people dump those stray items. As you can see from my below ‘before’ picture, I took the first steps in organizing my Junk Drawer by getting little baskets for the pens. Yet everything else is a total mess. Rubbermaid has a six-piece drawer organizer set, which comes with different sized compartments meant to tidy and organize your junk belongings.

Just released into stores in February, these interlocking drawers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, to suit any sized drawer {and many sizes of items too}. The beauty of these is that they stay together, both with the interlocking feature and also their foot grips which prevent drawer slidage. Yes, I just named it ‘drawer slidage’ and that just annoys me because it adds to the mess! I like the black color of these, as they will match any décor. The insides of the compartments have a tan colored gripper too, allowing items inside to slide about. Again, preventing that annoying slidage! As you can see from my picture, I do have wooden separators already in my drawer. I was pretty excited to see that our drawer had that. Yet I soon realized that those separators wasn’t enough, it just made a ‘Mess A’, ‘Mess B’ and so forth. I needed to group the items contained in the drawer more efficiently and the Rubbermaid Drawer Organizers did the trick. Neat and tidy! Why just the small ‘after’ picture of my drawer? Surprisingly, I was able to fit everything but 2 stacks of papers and notepads, into what you see here. My drawer is pretty much bare! {for now anyway}…

Rubbermaid has
3 key tips to having a functional Junk Drawer.

1) Don’t just toss any item in there, in any place. Have a designated spot for keys, batteries, lists, change etc. This is a great habit to form, then it stays neater for longer and makes finding things easier
2) Don’t toss items in there that do belong somewhere else. Take a little extra time to rightfully put things in their place. If it belongs in the junk drawer, go ahead.
3) Clean out the junk drawer every once in a while. You’ll be surprised at what you find {or think you have lost}!
