My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?
We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.
My wife has serious ADHD, this is every drawer.
I’d say that every house has a junk drawer, but I wouldn’t call this a junk drawer. It mostly looks like random kitchen tools. I guess you’re both right, in a way.
Maybe what you need is a wall-mounted rack to hold some of your other stuff without taking up valuable counter space. For example, I’ve heard people swear by magnetic knife holders. You can probably find magnetic tool holders at a hardware store for less than you’d find knife holders at a store that specializes in kitchen stuff.
Or maybe just get some hooks. Perhaps some little shelves. Whatever. The point is, make the stuff you use most often more accessible, and use the freed-up space in other drawers to clean out this drawer. Then turn it into a proper junk drawer, with shit like loose rubber bands, half~dried superglue, an awkwardly shaped pen from a real estate salesperson, and a tape measure that’s branded with the logo of an NFL team for some reason.
I also have this drawer
That one drawer won’t look messy, if every drawer looks like this. *taps forehead *
My work does one of those round robin steal it gift exchanges. One of my coworkers would just dump her junk drawer into a bag. It had the best stuff!
If you don’t have this drawer you simply don’t have drawers.
I have no drawers but at least one box per room for this purpose
We do not have that drawer. My kitchen is tiny and only has 2 drawers. As a result, our entire apartment is a mess
Every family afaik has at least one of these drawers. Just accept it and live your life.
This is true. It is the “occasional use kitchen drawer”
No drawer. Probably due to the kitchen layout, we don’t have smaller drawers, so the tools and such go into their own container.
This drawer is government issued when a house is built. Every family had this drawer. It is load bearing. Removing the contents of this drawer will cause irreparable damage to the house.
Instructions unclear. I now have a sink hole under my house.
I’m pretty sure ours still has junk in it from the last family that lived here.
Every kitchen has this, but I’d work on your layout. You could put about 50% more gadgets in there.
Also, store the scale vertically somewhere for maximum efficiency
We have that drawer. Two of them in fact.
I wish I could open mine.
