Easy Small Kitchen Junk Drawer Organization

This month I’m so excited to be teaming up with an awesome group of bloggers to help you get your drawers organized. The hop will take place weekly and focuses on a different room of your home. This week we’re starting with the kitchen and dining room. Start here with this easy small kitchen junk drawer organization.

Sometimes you’re not blessed with a large kitchen. In kitchens like mine, where space is at a minimum, organization is essential. The drawers with utensils are easy to keep organized because of the multitude of products available. The other drawers are a little trickier.

Step 5
