Challenge: Junk Drawers de-junked

Week 2 of the Challenge is Kitchen Cabinets. One area I wanted to focus on is our junk drawer attached to our portable kitchen island.


My first step was putting the pretty contact paper from the Dollar Tree in the drawer. Yes, this was only $1! I bought a bunch to redo all my cabinets.


Then I hopped over to Target and grabbed a clear acrylic tray to containerize the items. This tray was about $5.99

Here's what my de-junked drawer looks like now:



After going through the drawer, I've kept the screwdrivers, permanent and dry erase markers (for writing on freezer foods and writing expiration dates on packages), extra command hooks (LOVE), my recipe binder.
What a world of difference. I love opening this drawer and then seeing the pretty contact paper through the tray. Oh, how I am easily pleased.

Total Cost: $5.99 for the tray (Target), less than $1 for the contact paper (Dollar Tree) and I still have more left for my other cabinets



Now onto the rest of the kitchen!
