Just a few supplies will help get your kitchen drawers into shape.
First – declutter. How many of the same utensil do you really need? Ask yourself – do I really need/use this???
Next get some baskets that will fit into your drawer and help with the littler items.
Sometimes it helps to take everything out and start from scratch.
The above and below before…
Organize your drawers the way you want, and what works for you.

I also thought why are these facing forward in the drawer the handles are all the same .so I faced them forward then I can grab the one I want and need not the flipper when i wanted the ladle ….
So smart, I love that idea. Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, your two drawers hold as much as my one drawer. LOL I actually have 2 fairly good size drawers in my dining room, and 1 small one in my kitchen. The only one that I’ve ever been able to organize is the one with my dinnerware. No matter what I I do our “junk drawer” keeps getting junkier. LOL “Where should I put this?” Answer “IDK, Junk Drawer”. Get a new utensil? Where do I put this? IDK Utensil Drawer (small one} is full as is the large utensil jar on the stove. “Junk Drawer”. I think the “mess” fairies live in those two drawers because every time I clear them out and get rid of some “junk”, within a month, They’re junky again. 🙁 That’s with dividers & small basket, BTW. Love your idea though, don’t get me wrong. I just have too much “junk”! 🙂
Thank you Linda – I totally get it. We have a few junk drawers in our house. They fill up and then it’s time to go through and purge. My husband always says he finally figures out where stuff goes and I change it. I said I only do that if the system isn’t working LOL 🙂 Hugs my friend. I hope you are having a great day!
I really need to do this! I only have two kitchen drawers; one for eating utensils and another for cooking utensils and with the boys “helping” to put away dishes I often can not even get the cooking utensil drawer to open. Pinning!
Thank you and I totally understand. Love kids helping 🙂 Thank you for the Pin and I love that you want to do this too.
Yep, I’ve definitely got a drawer or two that look like your before photo. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Thanks Leslie, totally get it 🙂 Even after I organize I still have to go back once and awhile and go through things. Thanks for stopping by.
I’m pretty sure you wrote this post with me in mind! haha. I have pinned this for later reference, and I plan to organize my drawers this way! Thank you for the tip on organization! 🙂
Thanks Natalie, and thank you for the Pin. It definitely takes some time to find an organization system that works, and sometimes they have to be amended 🙂 Good luck!!!
I need to do this in the worst way but the pack rat in me keeps saying don’t toss or give anything away. Thank you for the tips and encouragement. Happy New Year and thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, and I hope your week is going great.
Thank you Sandra, and I know what you mean. Just when you finally let something go… you need it lol. Happy New Year to you!
I actually did this for a while and it was wuite good until I found the perfect-sized utensil organizer at Ikea – fluke or not I love how it looks now even more. Otherwise baskets are great and I love all the variety you can find at dollar stores!
Thank you for sharing Roxy 🙂
