Book Shelves
FamilyHost_Pia - March 15, 2009
Lets tackle those bookshelves! Looking at mine, they sure could use it. I have way to many pictures and knick knacks out! Are there odd and ends of mixed matched thing stored in no specific order on your book shelves and how is the best way to tackle this clutter?

I have found the best way to keep clutter away is not to put clutter on it, not even for a moment because you will leave it there and then it will magnetize to all the rest of the clutter and gather it all on the book shelves. My main problem with my bookshelves is dusting them. I just seem to always forget or avoid it without realizing it.

I am a BADDD person. Very cluttery bookshelf as you can see. I need to do something else with the pics, need to thin out the books and box some. I already have a number of boxes of books in my garage. I guess I really need to just buy another bookshelf. But those shelves are SO handy to set things on, aren't they.

I picked up a few boxes yesterday and began to box up some of the knick knacks and non reference books, my bookhelp already looks better, but I want to do more. :) This topic has motivated me.
