The Mighty, Mighty Stackable Drawer- Oh, Yeah, It’s Rawkin’ The House

I have been reorganizing a few things around here.  Scary, I know.  ‘Cuz when I get to organizin’ and rearrangin’, it’s liable to be slightly akin to a violent war skirmish.  But after the dust settles? 

IT’S ALL THE GOOD AND MAMA’S ONE HAPPY CAMPER.

Sometimes all we need around this Joint are a few doses of order and sophistication.  Nothin’ a little plastic-done-right can’t deliver.

Let me tell you, I’ve spent a beaucoup of money on The Plastic Containers.  Oh, mercy, I’ve kept Tupperware, Rubbermaid, and Sterilite in some high cotton, girl.

And, mostly all for naught because a good portion of The Plastic ends up in the bottom of the closet or at the garage sale bringin’ about 1/6 of what I paid for  it.

But, I think I’ve finally found a solution that works for under the bathroom sinks and in the medicine cabinet (oh, the wretched anguish of The Evil Medicine Cabinet- also known as ‘The Dark Pit of Despair Containing Seven Bottles of Zantac Because You Never Could Find The Other Six’ (thankyouverymuch).  Trying to find anything in this cabinet has been known to cause wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

Before The Mighty Stackable Drawers found their proper place in our home, you were most likely to lose a finger or a small child in that thang.  Thank the Lord that Lil Baby Busta was a loud one.  We darn near came close to losin’ him to The Medicine Cabinet.  Can I get a witness?)

 

Drawers under the guest sink (lots of extra stuff under there right now because we have a small construction project going on right now)…..

And, more drawers in the medicine cabinet (AND they’re labeled! Hallelujah!  Deliverance from evil has come!)…..

I did use three bucket-type containers for the taller bottles.'

TIP #1:  Write the name of the med on TOP of the bottle.  Stroke of genius.

TIP #2:  Tear off and throw away ALL edges of your medicine boxes, EXCEPT THE DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS PANEL, and use a  rubber band or ziploc bag to keep that panel with the meds it goes with.  Boxes are a TOTAL waste of space.

I’ve found myself actually loving to go to the Med Cabinet to get my various Head-Cold-From-You-Know-Where treatments, tonics, and potions.  If there’s any joy in The Head Cold, why, I think I’ve found it.

 

And, there you have it, folks.  I did one project per day and it only took me 12 or 32 days to get to the Land of Organization and Freedom!

Take it from me- don’t waste anymore money on storage containers/buckets/bins. 

Go with The Stackable Drawers.

They’ll do you right. 

Everytime.
