    I make use of utensil organizers and, though I use a bamboo one for my utensils, I have been using a plastic one in the desk drawer. It has rounded sides and doesn’t fit in nice and square hence wasted space. I think it’ll get the old heave-ho. Thanks for rounding up these ideas!

      You’re welcome! I think square/rectangular cubes utilize drawer space best. I like the idea of making my own cubes but I don’t know if I want to invest the time. I’ll probably look for some inexpensive drawer dividers at the Dollar Tree or one of the Marts. That way I can get to organizing!

      Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

    Right now, I am trying to organize our office, but not looking like any of those organized drawers. Need to give more thought about what is using the drawer space. Thanks for the neat ideas and I will be back for more inspiration.
    Thanks for visiting Timeless Treasures with a nice comment. Hope you will visit again.

      Good luck with organizing your office! That’s on my to do list as well. Today we’re tackling the garage (at least starting it).

      Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

    If I was the only person who used the stuff in the junk drawers, they would stay clean, but my family seems to like disorganization.
