Working Towards: Spring time! (Organizing Drawers)

It's finally starting to feel like spring! There is no snow, it's warm outside and it has been raining non-stop today. I would like to say that I'm getting ready to start my spring cleaning, but my fiance has taken it upon himself to make the house spotless!! I am so shocked with how clean everything is. It seems like he makes a better house wife than I do. Hahaha!

Today I've been spending my time thinking about all of the things that I could throw out or sell. My house seems super empty, but believe it or not it is filled with useless junk. Things that I can't see myself using even if I had the time. The biggest waste of space that we have is an exercise bike that I only used once or twice. It is so oddly shaped that I really have no where else to put it. The only spot I have for it is in the middle of our office. Talk about always tripping. Yeesh.


My mom and I always talk about different ways to clean out and she has actually been putting out at least one box of junk every garbage day (Yes they have a whole basement full of useless garbage). Luckily we don't have that much junk in our house. Anyways, today I have been working on turning old saved boxes, like 12 pack of soda boxes, into my new drawer organizers. I'm not being fancy with them and decorating them because I will only ever see them when I get changed. 


Me and my fiance share a dresser because we don't really have all that much clothing. (Well, I guess that's because I always take forever to do our laundry). My goal is to make it so we don't struggle with sharing the dresser so much! 

Homemade Drawer Organizers

  • First I cut some boxes to the height of our drawers so they would fit. I also used an old shoe box which worked perfect and now I'm going to be saving those to use! I wanted to use boxes that were mostly the same size so it would fit a little better in my drawers. 
  • After that I simply put the boxes in the drawers and taped them together where I needed to because they kept slipping and sliding away from each other every time I bumped them. That would have gotten pretty annoying trying to fix them every time I opened my drawers! 
I ended up using the smaller ones for my socks and undies which worked great for keeping them separated. I usually have them all in one drawer mixed with my fiance's stuff too and can never find what I'm looking for. I also folded and then rolled up my shirts so I could see them all at once and they would fit better. 

My next post will include a simplified black and white planner printable. I use this one as a blog planner!
