Over the past 3-4 months I’ve been in search of a solution. I knew the little containers they make for utensils
would not work for me; they would just take up valuable space. I stumbled onto spring loaded dividers and I think
I heard angels sing. So now I had to find
ones that would fit. Bed Bath &
Beyond carried a few styles. I grabbed one
that I thought would work perfect over my lunch break one day. No luck – it was too tall. The next day I returned it and got another
style. No luck – too short for the
drawer. Now at this point, you’re
probably saying – “Chelsea, why didn’t you measure the drawer?” – that would
have made too much sense and be too easy.
So I was back to square one.
Until a few weeks later and a trip to Marshalls/HomeGoods. I was scoping the kitchen section when I spotted
spring loaded drawer dividers that were long and only a few inches tall. The angels were singing again! I still didn’t measure the drawer but I was
confident they would fit. And for $9.99
for 2 dividers the price was more than right.
They only had 2 sets so I grabbed both and bolted for the checkout. I ran home, unloaded a little section of the
drawer and they were a perfect fit!
My world, and utensil drawer, now has a method and no
madness. I so enjoyed organizing the
drawer and every time I open it I smile.
Seriously, I do.
I’m thinking about using the other set of dividers in my
spice drawer but I’m really hoping to stumble onto one of those drawer inserts
for spices instead. That would be
magical.
What organizing dilemma have you faced lately, or conquered?
