The Dreaded Junk Drawer!

We have one... and we don't like it. The dreaded Junk Drawer!Our drawer is young and immature unlike some of the junk drawers that you might find in the homes of some of our family members, but we still do have a pretty good size drawer of miscellaneous items. Instruction manuals for our new appliances, phone books, batteries, dog leashes, flashlights, gorilla glue, recipe books, spare keys, dvds?, cameras, receipts, etc. The list could go on forever about what goes on in our junk drawer. If there's one thing I dislike more than anything, it's having an area filled with randomness. Is it really that unavoidable? If only there was a place in the house where every single item would fit perfectly, and not look out of place. In twenty years how many times can we actually say that we read the instruction booklet for our toaster?

This drives me crazy...and it will be taken care of soon!
