Utensils, pots, pans, and cups litter the insides of the drawer, making cooking a whole lot harder. Most of the times, when you reach for the salt shaker, you end up knocking over at least three other things before actually getting the salt! This is where smart drawer organization skills come in. With a few tips, you can focus more on enjoying the food rather than finding the tools you need to actually put food on the table! You just need a small budget, and a small investment of time to make your drawer neat and organized.
