You'd think I was decluttering a toolbox.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.
At least, based on the number of screwdrivers I found in the junk drawer.
Only one screwdriver remains. At least for now!

P.S. Did you notice I'm using old plastic food storage containers as organizers, like I did in my spice cabinet?
Your decluttered junk drawer looks great, but I think you should call it something other than "junk" drawer (why would you save junk?). I call mine a utility drawer, which better describes what it contains.
I also like the idea of using plastic bag containers as handy-dandy little boxes. Why didn't I think of that?
Well, that is true, I guess! I just tend to call it a junk drawer no matter what state it's in.
"Junk drawer" it is at our house, too. I can just picture the blank expression on my kids' faces if I told them something was in the "utility drawer". Mine needs to be tackled in a bad way. Instead of screwdrivers it seems to be full of tape measures and safety glasses. Hmmm. Maybe this post will be the inspiration I need....
Elaine is right--it WAS a junk drawer, but it isn't any more! It will probably be much easier know to find that one screwdriver than it was to find all the others!
I keep a small screwdriver in with my batteries for replacing batteries in child-proof items.
It's funny how you can end up with a dozen all of the same item. For us, it was glue sticks -- about a dozen of 'em. So now I'm planning on *not* buying tape for Christmas/birthday presents this year, and just using glue stick. Gotta use these up before they dry up.
For me? Either nail clippers, or chapsticks. Which is funny because I SWEAR I can usually never find either!
I can't find the long shafted, flat-head screwdriver I use to weed dandelions and take apart clementine boxes. Maybe it took a trip to your place.
My husband thinks I'm a hoarder for keeping those food storage containers but he was surprised that like you I use them to organize things in our little home office.
