The drawer that holds everyday tools

Reserve one shallow drawer for the things that solve small problems: tape, scissors, a marker, a measuring tape, and spare batteries.

The drawer that holds everyday tools

Reserve one shallow drawer for the things that solve small problems: tape, scissors, a marker, a measuring tape, and spare batteries.

Make a simple system

Use dividers with a little breathing room and label the drawer by function rather than object count. Move rare tools elsewhere.

Keep it friendly

When the drawer answers a need in seconds, it becomes one of the quietest luxuries in the house.
