Jumbled Junk Drawer:
- Take everything out, and throw away anything that's dried up, broken or unidentifiable.
- Relocate any tools and screws to a tool chest that's stored where they're most often used.
- When putting things back, group items in drawer dividers according to size and function.
- Don't let the drawer get back to its messy state: Get a family catchall basket to hold occasional items that don't seem to have a home.
Crammed Closet:
- Take out all the empty hangers and store them in a box or bag.
- Group similar items such as blouses, jakets, pants, and dresses, by color and hang them facing the same way.
- Ask yourself how often you wear each piece and if you really like it. Pull out items that need repairs or cleaning.
- Remove any items on the floor such as shoes, boots, purses or other stuff you've stashed away.
- Install wall hooks to hang the outfit you plan to wear the next day or to air out clothes you've just worn before returning them to the closet.
- Take everything out of the cabinets and off shelves, and group according to use: medecine, hair products, makeup, nail polish, toiletries.
- Wash down shelves and readjust shelving, if necessary.
- Get rid of medicines with expiration date that have passed, and throw away old makeup. Make separate piles of duplicate items and store in a clear plastic box.
- Restock the medicine cabinet by remedy: cold relief, skincare products, prescription drugs, vitamins. Position everything facing toward so you can read the labels.
- Find special containers for items you use daily. Store cotton balls in a clear jar. Stand lipsticks, eye pencils and makeup brushes in a mug.
- Put a covered basket on top of the toilet tank for concealing the curling iron, blow dryer and tub items.
- Put mnicure supplies into a ziptop bag-you can grab it to do your nails while talking on the phone.
