junk drawers

i was telling jeremy lasy night--we have two storage ottomans that we recently recovered, and they're completely empty! nobody knows they're empty but me, 

but knowing they're not filled with junk makes me feel really good.

i was reading somewhere that every house should have an empty shelf. i think that's where the satisfaction comes from. just knowing something is clutter free. 

so, in an effort to get more and more organized (baby steps, people!), i ransacked my kitchen junk drawers. 

that's plural.
