The things you may need in a pinch but don't necessarily want to have a "spot" for, but you don't want to have to hunt for it either.
My junk drawer(s) contain a hammer, rubber bands, thumb tacks (ouch), stuff like that. Well, at least that's what the one in the kitchen contains.
Um - one of the junk drawers in the kitchen.
I actually have two in the kitchen. The other is in my "desk" - and that has take out menus, pens, paper clips, staples, scissors, more take out menus & a ton of crap I didn't feel like dealing with.
Anyone else have this issue??

| Trust me, mine's NOT this neat and organized |
I have attempted - several times - to go through my drawers of "stuff" and clean it up. Usually that happens when the drawer will no longer shut completely. I swear, it's like a friggin' treasure hunt!!
Can I part with my newly found treasures? Or my old "keepsakes" from God knows when?? NO, of course not - that's why I have so many darn junk drawers!Yes, I know - all this from a self proclaimed neat freak... Well yes, but you do know that drawers & closets have doors on them for a reason. To hide the crap that is piling up & I don't want to deal with. Things I won't deal with now or probably ever.
In these attempts to deal with my stuff - I don't get very far. I do find papers (and last year's Christmas receipts) that can actually be thrown away - but sometimes it's a veritable treasure trove of holy CRAP look what I found & WOW, THAT'S where that went! Woo hooooo!!

Mostly, my house is pretty clean at first view (unless the girls have ravaged it in some way).
It's all about the presentation.
Just DO NOT open the closets or junk drawers and you'll be safe.
Thank you for reading my blog!!
Big smoochies xxoo

ReplyDeleteGenius minds think alike, Bridgett ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm making your Potato Chip Casserole with Christmas dinner :) I'll let you know how it comes out!
I have one in the kitchen and at least two in my bedroom!! lol! People are forbidden "punishable by death" to open these drawers!! LOL! Oh, and my coat closet...yeaaaaaa...the insert that holds the coats....FELL and I've yet to get that fixed so if you open THAT door you will be buried alive!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI have three in my kitchen. One of which is 20% stuff I can't find a place for and 80% bills that I don't want to look at because I know I can't pay them. LOL The other two are stuff that I swear I "mean to get to at some point" but you and I both know that ain't happenin. I have three in my bedroom. One is hubs' the other two mine and God knows what they have in them. I do know that one contains a hot wheels car that I got my little brother for his 16th birthday as a joke and then never gave to him because my parents actually bought him a car....so it's sitting there til the 6 month old boy gets old enough to play with it I guess. My hubs likes to complain about it, but seriously, yeah. Look at the garage and look at his OWN junk drawer. LOL Thanks for the post. It's nice to know I'm not alone (especially since I am kinda a neat freak, too.)
