Fun Way to Organizing a Sock Drawer
March 19th, 2008My daughter bought these great organizing containers at IKEA and let me organizer her sock drawer. I was in my element, you know me I love to organize anything and everything in homes and offices.
Before: What a mess, a jumbled mess I must say. (She said I could say that). Not only do the socks need to find their mates but the old ones that are too thin or have holes in the toes or heels are tossed.
Containers used: Aren’t these nifty? They are collapsible too. Now I am not sure why that is a bonus unless it is because there is no bulk when bringing them home from the store. Because as soon as you get home you zip them up and start using them. They only cost for all of these $10.00.
After: I used the containers and divided the socks into sections. On the right are her everyday socks. The other two containers hold exercise socks and fun socks that she wears but not as often. She has quite a collection of fun toe socks for every season. The space on the far left is a place for the socks that don’t have mates but are here somewhere. If their mate hasn’t come home after three wash times it will be tossed.
As a professional home organizer I have found just a few little containers can make a big difference in any drawer in the home. They go a long way to keeping things organized.
