Hola darlings!
I want to be outside
soooooo badly on this beautiful summer day in southeast Wisconsin, but I am being a good girl and unpacking an entire BOXLOAD of the contents of two junk drawers from the prior Maison Newton.
Geesh! I should have taken a picture when that box was full of
crap junk stuff items I cannot live without
things I rarely need but occasionally use. But -- the end is near!!!
Look at that sucker - it's gigantic! It is a copy paper box from the office, one of
hundreds dozens people at the office hoarded for me once I put the word out I needed boxes for moving. It was filled TO THE BRIM; what you now see is what is left after working on it for an hour. I am
so proud of myself! Pat on Jan's back from Jan to herself :)
I now only have one pitifully small junk drawer and an orphan cabinet in my kitchen peninsula where I am stashing odds and ends that don't fit anywhere else but that I don't want to put on the shelves in the basement as past experience has taught me that I actually do access my "junk" quite a bit. There are eleven steps to the basement and while the storage is nice, I really don't want to be trekking down there several times a day!
This is what my new junk drawer looks like:
As you can see, this drawer is loaded, but it is actually organized by function (sort of) and everything has its own container -- that is a first for me: tools; scissors and various forms of hooks and holders; plastic tape, command strips, various thingies for hanging pictures and photos, and tons of push-tacks; glue, a couple of electrical adapter, measuring tape, extra styrofoam blocks (I use them to elevate the rear legs of my laptops); at the far left are rulers and a compass (because you never know when you may need to make a circle); furniture scratch covers and fillers; scotch tape; three little containers filled with various forms of tacks, nails and screws, and hammers across the back of the drawer.
