"Hi my name is Rene' and I shove stuff in drawers"

How many of you have closets and drawers filled with "things" that need to go? We all have those places where we shove stuff. I'll be the first to stand up and say, "Hi, my name is René and I shove stuff in drawers." Spring is that time of year for me when I can purge, organize, and donate without the guilt.

Just the other day I was on the phone and needed a pen. I couldn't even get the drawer open where I kept the pens because of all the junk (pencils, loose change, paper, rulers, phone chargers, etc.). Well one hour later and a trip to Pier 1, I have a beautiful junk drawer (sounds like an oxymoron). Here are a few good ones that I found on Martha Stewart. If you have any good ideas I would love to hear from you.

In the Bath:


I already have the roll-out drawers but what caught my eye is the hooks on the cabinet door for your hair styling equipment.

In the Kitchen:

Here are tension rods used as dividers for cookie pans, servers, etc. Not a bad idea for less than $2 a rod.



I already do this with my recipes. I actually have three (main meals, desserts, tabletop decorating).

For the closet:


If you do not have the cash right now for custom closet storage this is a great idea to get your boots off the floor and out of their boxes. It is wooden boot shapers with coffee cup rings screwed into the tops.
