Somehow an office upstairs is just not enough working space for DH. Although he retired six years ago, he went right back to work because he enjoys it so much! I've moaned and groaned, begged and pleaded, get that mess off my kitchen table. Instead, it gained an iMac, my plate holder became a file holder, and the piles get higher when he returns from a business trip. This is real life in the raw.
Joining in and linking to Claudia of Mockingbird Hill Cottage
for fun Thursday Reality Shot.
Hope you'll share a reality moment from your home.
Remember, no picking up or dusting required!

What ever would we do without our men to pick up after?! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, keeping it real!
I've not heard of this gathering before, off to grab my camera right now ready to tell it like it is!
But do I dare?

Oh boy. I love that your plate holder has suddenly become a filing system! And an iMac takes up quite a bit of space on the table...
ReplyDeleteFurther reinforces my theory that given an extra amount of space, a mess will expand. Thanks for sharing, Mary! This one cracks me up.

Great photo Mary!! Men will be men!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Luckily for me, Kent's office is upstairs out of site :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that you also used a sepia tone for your reality shot. And hey, he has the wonderful taste to use that lovely plate holder and have such a beautiful screen saver. I can relate to this... Ann
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I am headed right out to buy another plate holder and plates to make a filing system for my desk. I'm sure it's an annoyance for you, but I'm stealing this idea. Have a great day! Chris
That pile looks too familiar. My office piles up on the kitchen table all too frequently.

Now a plate holder is not something I had thought of for papers. What a good idea. Those pesky papers just grow and grow.
ReplyDeleteLove your real life. It is very clever to use the plate holder for a paper keeper. Real life.
ReplyDeleteYou're a saint ... I'd be pulling my hair out!
ReplyDeleteI love the plate holder used for a filing system. And aren't men famous for positioning the beautiful screen saver in FRONT of the mess so it just goes away??
ReplyDeleteThe In-basket cake plate holder is brilliant! Watch out - it will be all over the design magazines!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative use for a cake plate holder. Love this reality shot.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Well, think of it this way, at least he isn't going through the kitchen cabinets and re-arranging things!
