Organizing the entry

OK, last week I showed you our problem area:

Then, I showed you the solution and the dresser I'm now using to keep it the solution!  Now, let me show you how I organized the inside.

The top of the dresser I declared for phone charging only {and a lamp}!  Hubby agreed! I also bought a piece of glass to fit on the top of the dresser to make it more durable. 

So, drawer #1 - to replace hubby's pile that had formed from the drawer to the top of the old desk.

You can see I put a couple of plastic organizing trays for him to put his books he's reading or paperwork and other misc. things he brings in.  His sunglass cases, watch, and a place for his change inside.  He can throw it in and I don't care what it looks like inside.




Then, drawer #2:

I put two of the same sized tray in this drawer.  One is labeled "Mail" where I put what's left from today's mail - see my post on mail on what you actually should keep. The tray on the right hold receipts - mostly ones for home improvement and things that will possibly need to be taken back (hubby loves keeping these).


Drawer #3 is the biggy!

I bought stackable trays for the entire dresser since the drawers are high and deep.  This way I could stack things.  I have two trays for coupons - the one on top for everyday coupons and underneath for long term coupons.  The divided tray in back holds all kinds of office supplies.

Notice that I even labeled the dividers for the pens and pencils.  I stacked the keys on top of the other tray.

And, of course I got a large open tray for hubby's "junk" that he can throw in there.  What in the world IS all that stuff for anyway?  I don't even know...but now he can have it there without his wife nagging him to move it out.


On to drawer #3:

This drawer doesn't have much...which I love!  I only have a few craft supplies, a couple more trays, and some large notebooks.

You can find these here

So, we've conquered an area that has bothered me for years!  Sometimes you have to think out of the box and come up with solutions using things you wouldn't normally.
