Kitchen Drawers

Today I tackled a little project that I have been wanting and waiting to tackle for awhile! 

It has been on my "To Do" list... so happy to scratch it off!

We are lucky to have a lot of cabinets and drawers in our kitchen... enough so that we have the typical "junk drawer" of pens, pencils, tape, etc., as well as a drawer for all of our chargers, cameras and cords and one for some random tools and household items we use frequently. 

Both of these drawers were in COMPLETE disarray (and making me CRAZY as a result)!

Forgot the real before picture of the "tool" drawer... 

but these are its contents emptied onto the counter. Yep! Crazy! 

I had organized the batteries in our house earlier in the day... some were in this drawer, some were in a storage container in the den... I never knew what we had and had bought several kinds without realizing we had some. I hate it when I buy something we don't need!

Megan at Honey We're Home had just posted about organizing batteries in her media center... 

I stole her idea!! LOVE IT!!

Much better looking!! I shuffled some of the batteries around from the above picture to accomodate a few screwdrivers and some pliers that we keep in the house! 

I love that little level!! I use it constantly when hanging up pictures!!!

Next I tackled the cord and camera drawer...

AFTER

This drawer was a bit easier because everything was technically all there to organize... 

you see all those bags were in the drawer already... we just didn't return the cords to them! Nice!! 

Each charger cord or camera connection cord is in its own little baggie and is labeled with a sharpie!

External hard drives are in the back left corner with camera manuals under them. 

Small digital cameras in the front corner...  

Random memory cards and photo accessories in the front basket!

So happy to have it all organized... now Jim won't be able to find a thing... but I will!!
