Works for Me Wednesday: Charger Drawer Labels
If you’ve been around my blog for awhile, you may recall me posting about my charger drawer around this time last year. While the charger drawer still totally works for us, it can be a bit confusing trying to find a particular charger — or USB cable since we’ve had a lot of those take up residence in the drawer, what with all the digital cameras and iPods around here.
So, a few weeks ago, I got a brilliant idea. I got my label maker and made labels for each of the chargers and USB cables in the drawer. Now, it’s easy to see, at a glance, which is which:
In the process, I was also able to clean out a lot of chargers that we no longer need. It’s a lot easier now to find what I’m looking for in the charger drawer.

Labeling things makes my heart happy! How nerdy am I?
Smart!! I need a charger drawer like this, and definitely must have the labels. This sounds like a fun afternoon project (okay, I'm nerdy, too.)
I really need to do this. It drives me crazy to find a random cord I have no clue what it goes to.
Love this idea! We've got a drawer where all those cords seem to end up – I think I'll be using this idea!
Why didn't I ever think of that? Brilliant and simple! Thanks 🙂
Great idea! I love any excuse to pull out my label maker.
Smart idea! I'm with Meghan, a label-maker addict, and my cord drawer could definitely use some attention!
You're a step ahead of me, a drawer for all the chargers to be in one place would be great!
I have a charger drawer but I do not have labels on my chargers what an awesome idea. I love my label maker and I love organizing and this will just make me so happy. Agh just thinking about it is blissful thanks for the awesome tip. BTW I found your blog through We Are THAT Family. Check out my blog http://www.carribear0620.blogspot.com
