Help me sort out this drawer

It's ridiculous - full of shit.

We keep utensils in it but it's pointless and we can never find what we need.

Cutlery drawer hidden above as shown.

Well firstly, empty the whole drawer and cull the hell out of it.

We don’t even have one ice cream scoop! But I would quite like one, so keep one.
ladles 2 max (assuming different sizes, otherwise one)
can recommend a Joseph Joseph space saving cutlery holder if it will fit across your drawer.

All done. Lots of things thrown out including various melted spatulas.

The drawer looks better now, and I've used some jam jars to contain the smaller utensils.

But on the whole the drawer is too deep to use all the space so feels a bit of a waste. I will look at cutlery holder.

I feel a lot better though.
