From the Desk of Clearissa’s Command Center – Divinely Organized
Dresser Drawer/Folded Clothing Storage Project 2018
Finally, I have completed my first major organization project of 2018. I have purged, cleaned and organized every Dresser Drawer, storage trunk and kitchen drawer in our home. It was a larger undertaking than I expected but it was necessary and it is done! Hallelujah!!

I began in the space that first launched this project…sock drawer(s). My love of socks is a running joke between hubs and me. He says I have a sock fetish and perhaps I do because once I took a real good look at the three, count em, three drawers full of socks, I knew something had to be done. Who has three dresser drawers over-flowing with socks? Do you? If so, we need an intervention. Perhaps we can go together. 🙂
Above is an example of what two of the three sock drawers looked like before. Actually, I had no idea what I had, how many I had, or the types of socks I had. The drawers could hardly close and new socks were simply piled on top of older ones and I even found new ones on the bottom of the drawer. It was a complete mess!
When I was done with the purge and organization of the sock drawers, I moved on to my lingerie drawers and they were a mess as well. A holy mess!!
This is what was purged from my lingerie drawers. I didn’t feel comfortable showing you the before of my lingerie drawers so I thought I would show you what was purged and tell you that when I was done, I had two empty drawers in my lingerie chest. And I think that the way things are folded and organized, it may be okay to share the after with you. I am still tossing that idea around, but do know I am extremely happy with the results.
As I said before I at least touched every drawer or space with folded clothing and other household utensil storage in the house. From the bedroom to the kitchen and every room in between. What a good feeling. Now I am on to my closets. That’s the next big project! Care to join me?

XOXO,
Oh gosh, I so much need to do this…especially with my panty and sock drawers. Shared your post ♥
Wow. Everything looks so neat and orderly. Now to keep it that way, right?
Haha…yest I’ve decided 2018 will be all about getting organized and 2019 all about maintaining the organization. lol
Hi Dee,
My panty and sock drawers were the absolute worse of all. Because I enjoy buying both so much, they were jammed packed and still had stuff in there I no longer can or would like to wear. 🙂 It was actually a project that was very relaxing as well. Thank you for sharing.
I do this sort of thing all the time and before I know it I slip right back into old habits of just cramming stuff in the drawers and have even been known to toss out the organizers. LOL I do love the way it looks when it’s organized and it does feel good to purge. 🙂 Congrats on getting it done!
Hi Pam, fingers crossed that I maintain better than I have been at least. 🙂 I am certainly going to try. Throw away organizers? You just gave me heart palpitations. Now that I could never do. 🙂 If you see me redoing this, just remind me of this conversation and let’s both have a good laugh. Take care.
Clearissa, I would be so embarrassed for anyone to see in my lingerie drawers. They are a mess! I fold my husband’s boxers nice and neat and just throw mine in the drawer. It’s awful and I’m sick of it! I need to follow your lead and get some organization and decluttering done. Thank you so much for hosting and sharing on the #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty. Shared!
Ha Teresa, I didn’t show my before panty drawer for that very reason. And besides I feel some kinda way about showing my undies online but I just had to show how neat some of the drawers turned out. Especially after working so hard on them. 🙂 The hardest part is getting started. You can do it. 🙂
Clearissa it always feels good to get organized and be able to find things when I need them. Something I need to do again.
Good job!
I have been doing the same. I actually started in the bathroom because it is the smallest room in the house…so daunting!
Candy, I totally agree. I am never done organizing. When you reach what you consider, the end…it’s time to begin again. It is a process. 🙂
No worries Loretta. You will work it out. I so have a few projects that are ongoing now. 🙂
