Last June, I organized the catch-all drawer in the apartment (a mess that was building for 2 years) and even tweeted about a discovery I made... This year's model-of-doom is only two months in the making and is already threatening a hostile takeover (something catches and the drawer won't open).
Pretend it's like an I-Spy... can you find a Harry Potter pencil sharpener? Two packets of flower seeds? a Concerta stapler? a Bert from Sesame Street magnet? two bottles of ink from China? a rubber ducky? 50 different customer loyalty cards from places like Lowe's, Game Stop, and CVS? a monogrammed tape measure? a plastic school calculator, circa 1994?
Ahh, much better.
I reused the Malley's chocolate boxes again (1 for tablets and extra magnets, 1 for tape/pencil sharpeners), and a silverware drawer liner from the auction house (sections for extra keys, mini tools, eye glass cleaner, The Plague, and all those loyalty cards. Between the boxes are the ink bottles and extra markers. Of course, I delighted in throwing out unusable items.
Also from the auction house, you may recall this little number, the plywood magazine box (one of two):
I covered those babies in contact paper and made myself some awesome magazine racks to hold some of the magazines I receive for free: Martha Stewart, Afar, Elle Decor, Coastal Living, and Health. I also get Real Simple (thanks, Mom!) and it is kept on the tv stand. Coincidence?
Also a questionable coincidence is that the green goes super well with the dining room green and thus continues my quest to tie together the great room and dining area.
What makes you happy? Organization? Chaos?
