About every night before bed, I find myself browsing Pinterest. And one evening I found this cool idea . . .
Why on earth would you stack t-shirts in your dresser drawer when you can FILE them!?!?!?
So today when I put away the laundry, I took this opportunity to file Dave's t-shirts. All it required was a little refolding so they'd fit in the drawer neatly like this (sorry the pic is sideways, for the life of me I can't figure out why!!)
Then I headed over to my drawer and found my t-shirts in complete disarray in a sloppy stack.
So I just had to file mine as well. And throw away a few old ratty t-shirts. I'm constantly purging.
Gone are the days of wearing the same 2 shirts over and over cuz the others are buried in the bottom of the drawer. Dave already found a couple shirts he forgot he even had!!!
Gone are the days of knocking the whole stack over while trying to find that favorite shirt somewhere on the bottom.
I know this is day one, but I think I'm in love with filing clothes. I also did my underwear drawer and Dave's long underwear drawer. Just couldn't get enough. . .
And while we're on the subject of dresser drawers, anyone else have a sock organizer like this?
I've been using mine for the past 3 years or so since I found it at the Container Store. I don't think I'll ever go back.
What other ideas do you all have for dresser drawer organization?
Ooh....I love this idea! I can't wait for my kids to wake up this morning so we can try it out in their drawers....they just shove things in and hope it closes! Thanks for sharing your practical ideas!
ReplyDeleteKayla, thanks for stopping by my blog and for commenting. I hope your kids enjoy the dresser organizing idea. We're sure loving it over here. Did my son's shirt drawer last night too!
ReplyDeleteCan't stop filing our clothes - it takes up much less space too! Thanks for the great tip! Margy
ReplyDeleteI know Margaret - you can fit so many more clothes in the dresser this way. Woohoo!
