organized flatware drawer inserts
My goal this year was to continue making progress on finding a “place for everything.” It’s been slow going at times, but I’ve tried to at least tackle one drawer or small space every month or so.
This drawer was previously full of tea which didn’t really feel like the best use of space. It’s a shallow drawer which is ideal for flatware, so I decided to make a switch! We had a couple of sets of pretty stainless flatware (with bamboo detail!) that I like to use for holidays and entertaining that didn’t have a convenient or organized spot, so this location made a lot more sense. It’s right across from the table!
I was able to maximize the space in the drawer with a couple of bamboo organizers.
It only took a few minutes to set this up, but now every time I see it, I’m happier!

I know I showed this cabinet in another post, but I recently had also reorganized this coffee cabinet which is above the flatware drawer. I needed to fit in the new espresso maker, so I changed a few things around.
There’s definitely more I could do to pare down organize it but it’s good enough for now! I make my coffee at this cabinet almost every day so it functions well.
Sometimes I find a roadblock to progress in decluttering or organizing is thinking it is going to take too much time so I procrastinate on starting. Then you just feel really behind in a lot of areas, so it’s even more overwhelming. So I’ve been trying to just get a few things done in small pockets of time, even when it has to be done imperfectly.
Are you working on any decluttering or re-organizing projects this fall? We love to set manageable goals to make progress at home in every season in our HomeBody Community. We’d love to have you there, you can even post photos of your progress to keep yourself accountable or inspire the rest of us! I’ve also been working on adding some other helpful new resources for HomeBodies there, inspiration galleries for ideas and home tour videos that are fun to watch! Learn more here.
Happy fall!
