Day #1- Junk Drawer (21 Day Organizing Challenge)


So, I finally started the 21 day organizing challenge yesterday.  I had found this challenge on Pinterest several, several months ago and thought it was a great idea.  It comes from the blog a bowl full of lemons.  I had original planned to start this at the beginning of the New Year but, things have been a little hectic. I also know it will take me a bit longer than 21 days to do this challenge.  I just know how I am, and for me to accomplish this I will have to do it on the weekends.  I will just do one to two challenges a weekend.

Day/Weekend # 1- Junk Drawer

 

This is what my drawer looked like before.  It was a complete mess. 

 

 
I bought these mesh bins from Bed Bath and Beyond. They have a ton of different sizes.  I figured these would be perfect to help me organize my junk.


 
This is all my junk on the kitchen counter.  I can't believe all that fit in my drawer.  More than half of it went in the trash. 





Here is my drawer nice and organized.  It looks incredible and it is such a relief to finally have it clean.  Everything has a place now so, nothing should just be thrown in there.  I can't wait to organize the rest of the house.
