Today’s Photo Hunt Theme is clean. My entry is a tad bit humbling, but one I felt fit the theme perfectly. We live in a fairly old house and in the dining room is a built in hutch. Since I don’t have special china or things that ordinarily go into a hutch, I use it for storage of many different types of items. Unfortunately, the top of the hutch seems to be the “catch all” area for everything that people don’t want to put away or don’t know where they go. After my entry for clean, which are the after pictures of the hutch, I will post the before pictures so that you can see what it normally looks like..LOL!

This is a picture of the whole top of the hutch, here are pictures of each side to give you a closer look as to how stuff gets piled up there

I will admit that the purses are mine, as are the candles that have been there since our last major storm warning in case the power went out. Other than that the only things that are mine are things that actually belong up there like the lava lamp, photos and Bengals Teddy Bear. The clutter that accumulates up there is probably my biggest pet peeve in this house…LOL!~~~

    Clutter accumulates so quickly! But it feels so nice when it is all cleaned off.

    I so know how this is! I have a built-in cupboard area in my dining room that looks so nice when it’s cleaned off but right now is piled high with all sorts of stuff! I just can’t seem to keep up with it!

    We have a similar place where things seem to pile up too … mostly toys and discarded DVDs.

    I do believe I must have had such a hutch in my old house as well… no, it was the kitchen table. Very nice take on the theme.
