40 PEEKS | INSIDE THE ALEX DRAWERS (PART 3)

Earlier this summer I shared some photos of what’s inside my IKEA Alex drawers here and here.  Today I’m back to share what’s inside the last two drawers that I didn’t previously share.  I’ve been inspired to reorganize my room by the Workspace class I’m taking at Studio Calico and this week I finally tackled those last two drawers.

As I’m sure you know by now, I love the 3 compartment clear plastic trays from Target to organize my embellishments.  Recently, Michelle commented on my blog that Target also has a 6 compartment larger tray that fits perfectly in the drawers and can hold some larger embellishments which I hadn’t found a solution for yet.  She also mentioned that I could fit two of the larger trays along with 2 of the smaller trays in one drawer.  (This was such a great suggestion and I very much appreciate the comment and recommendation – thank you, Michelle!)  So, I went on the hunt for these trays and found them earlier this week.  I love how many different types of items I can fit in these trays and I arranged them just as Michelle suggested.  Two larger ones in the back of the drawer and two of the smaller ones in the front.  I put larger items (chipboard and fabric frames, etc.) in the larger compartments and added smaller items in the smaller compartments.  Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

Alex Drawers Part 3a

The bottom drawer in my Alex cart holds all of my Silhouette Cameo supplies (extra mats, speciality papers and supplies, extra blades, etc.) along with my piercing mat and some Cut-n-Dry foam.  I previously had these items scattered in different places but am happy that my Cameo stuff is all in one place now.Alex Drawers Part 3bWhat do you have inside your Alex drawers?  I love seeing how other people organize their supplies and get lots of great ideas that way.  Hope you’ll share!  🙂

  1. Hi Anita! Yay! You found them… aren’t they perfect! 🙂 I love how organized the drawers are and how you can see each item. If you ever get the high set of alex drawers too the 3 compartment ones fit nice in them with a little room underneath to still store flat things like ink pads and papers!
