I have long admired the organization bins sold in Ikea and other stores, but could never bring myself to pay for them. I recently discovered that shoeboxes make an excellent thrifty alternative. I just put them in drawers as they come, but you could cover them with paper or fabric if you want to make them look nicer. I don't have a before picture of this drawer of Emma's, but just picture it stuffed to the brim with clothing. It has all of the same articles of clothing in it now, but there is plenty of space to open and shut the drawer and I can easily find the shirt I'm looking for.
