I have a junk cabinet and my husband has the whole garage

Every few months he goes out there to organize it and a day later it looks like a tornado went through it. Which is amazing because he only goes out there about twice a month.

Entire house. Wife is worse than my depression era grandmother. Won’t throw a damn thing away. Saves everything.

I think we have 3 of them but my wife keeps them some what organized.

2 of them are in the laundry room and then there is 1 in the kitchen, but the one in the kitchen is stocked with things I need in my home office

I don’t. But my wife does. It’s called my office.

Doesn't everybody??? I have one in my kitchen that is a catch-all for lots of crap that will likely never be used, but kept just in case. And that includes:

A small container of faucet washers
An eyeglass repair kit
Different color thread for sewing buttons back on, etc.
At least 4 decks of playing cards
Assorted small screwdrivers in straight slot and phillips
A bag of rubber bands
About 20 spare keys for the house, shed, cars and motorcycle
Several pairs of chopsticks
Kebab skewers
Assorted pins, needles and small brads

As a kid I had a box where I would save everything, now I am a minimalist and only keep what I need.

Nope - but I do have one that is NOT a junk drawer (for the important stuff.)

The kitchen. I have condiment/sauce packets, extra twist ties, a couple of meat thermometers, sharpie, and one of those metal wine stopper things. Not sure where that came from, I don’t really drink, and probably some other stuff.

I organize it about every 3 years and then chaos happens.

I have junk drawers in the kitchen and living room, and a junk closet in the junk room.

is there a method to the madness for organization?

I wouldn't call it junk if it was organized.

My method of filing the objects are 180° from my wife's.

When I die, they'll just bring in a 5 gallon garbage can and dump in years of valued treasures.

Yes. Also have 2 extra bedrooms upstairs that have miscellaneous crap in them.




I call mine the auxillary room. Sounds way better than the junk room.
