This week’s clutter project is one of those painful ones I would rather you not see. However, I am going to let you see it because I want you to know you are not the only one with clutter issues.

That would be the top of my beautiful antique dresser. I hate to say it, but it lives in this clutter state a lot of the time. I always look at it going ” I don’t have time for that today” and then it gets a bit worse and a bit worse.

Honestly, though it didn’t take long to clean up. I was done in around 15 minutes.

I first took everything off the top of the dresser and gave it a good dusting with Method wood cleaner. Then I spent most of the rest of the time sorting through the pile.

In the end, this was all that ended up back on the top of the dresser. Most of what was in the huge mess were papers that needed to be recycled or shredded as well as items that belonged else where.

I am hoping to keep the items on my dresser to things that fit on the gold tray. Hopefully, I will succeed.
