Organizing the miscellaneous drawer!

I was trying to get some work done but this drawer that I tidied up just a few days ago and was already all disorganized wouldn't let me...

I think it's common in most houses - the miscellaneous drawer; usually in the kitchen!
I had tidied up ours 2 weeks ago but it really didn't look like it - every time we opened or closed it everything would shift places!

I even took a picture so you can see the difference:



For this project I couldn't really take a picture of all material I used - I simply brought the plastic packaging material I had stored and by trial and error got to the solution of what packages to use for what. I took some photos of the evolution:

First step was joining materials by category (batteries, everyday medication, etc.):


Then I started trying to put categories together in a box:


... and tried to put the things we use more closer:


And finally this is our optimal solution!


I hope it inspires you to organize your drawer too! I keep opening and closing the drawer just to be amazed by the fact everything stays at place :D
