Reese Witherspoon's drawer code

Reese Witherspoon's drawer code

Reese Witherspoon colour-codes her sock drawer.

The 'Four Christmases' star, who has two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, copes with her hectic lifestyle by being a "neat freak" at home.

She said: "I am definitely an organised mother. I am a big organiser. But I like to know where I am. I guess you could call me a neat freak."

Reese, who is currently dating her 'Rendition' co-star Jake Gyllenhaal, also revealed she spends hours of her free time tidying up her family's belongings.

She explained: "I can spend a good three hours on sorting out a cupboard or drawer."

It was recently claimed Reese and Jake are planning to buy a home together in London.

The couple, who have been dating for over a year, reportedly looked at apartments and townhouses in the UK capital's exclusive Mayfair district.

A source said: "Reese was extremely concerned about security issues. She seemed to particularly like places where they could enter and exit not directly onto the street."
