The article describes the author's experience revamping a chaotic kitchen utensil drawer, highlighting the importance of decluttering and organization. In seeking help from professional organizer Jean Prominski, the author learns to sort utensils by type, discard unnecessary items, and consider organization strategies tailored to unique shapes and sizes. The article emphasizes that beginning with a systematic approach can transform even the most cluttered spaces, making kitchen tasks more manageable and enjoyable.
"The first step is to sort like with like and donate what you don't need anymore," she says. And with that, I got to work.
"Once you've done that, check your other drawers to see if it would be better to move things to other drawers or not," Prominski says.
I didn't think a standard bamboo flatware organizer would work because there are so many different shapes and sizes of utensils in this particular drawer.
I made a pile of broken items, a pile of items that I didn't use, and a pile of items that belonged in other drawers.
