Using Storage Boxes to Organize the Dresser Drawers

I didn’t get much done today. Emilee came home sick from school today. About an hour after that I started feeling sick. I’m trying to ignore it but it doesn’t seem to be working.

I bought these Skubb storage boxes from Ikea a few weeks ago and finally got around to putting them in Emilee’s dresser drawers.

Here’s her “before” drawer. A little messy don’t you think? Apparently keeping a drawer neat is not high on the priority list of a 13 year old. Until she needs to find something, that is.

Even if she doesn’t keep the storage boxes perfectly neat, at least everything will be divided so she can find what she needs easier.

Her pajama drawer was a little messy too so I added 2 storage boxes to help keep it organized.

Her tanks are in the small box and her t-shirts are in the bigger box.

I think I’ll be heading to Ikea again soon to buy some more storage boxes. I think hubby needs them in his dresser drawers now, and probably the boys too. Does anyone else get excited about organized dresser drawers as much as I do?

    I get crazy excited thinking about storage. Just saying the word IKEA makes me giddy. Feel better!

    I love those little IKEA boxes – bought some of the black ones to help my boys keep their drawers organized. The don’t fold socks, but it does a great job of keeping them corralled. They like to put non-clothing items in their dresser, so it’s great for that, too.

    I LOVE those Ikea storage boxes. I use them for clothes in my dresser, as well as in my craft closet. They are the best. Thanks for sharing!

    I am so happy that I found you through Ask Anna Mosley! I just bought little boxes to try to organize my drawers. I needed this post. I am one of Anna’s Monday party gals. Would love to have you party at the Meet Me Monday party but I am happy I found you either way! Love, Me
